🎃🐿 Squirrels love pumpkins! 🐿🎃
Instead of throwing yours away after Halloween why not put at the bottom of the garden or take to your local woods/park? 🐿

🌳🦔Place them high up, where hedgehogs can’t get to them as they give them the an upset stomach🦔🌳

Imagine how much wildlife could be fed with the millions of pumpkins that are thrown away.
Especially now when there is less of an abundance of food for wildlife leading up to winter, give the squirrels a treat! 🎃🎃🎃

SeSsIoN OnE

For the kids that want a more relaxed fun play time, come and play with all our circus toys, where you can learn to tightrope walk, hula hoop, spin plates, throw diablo into the air, and much much more !!! Lessons are casual and are a mixture of group and one to one extra help during the open play times.

SeSsIoN TwO

For the kids that have a bit more confidence and want to get more involved as this includes a lot of group participation and interaction, not only do you get to do more circus play but you will also learn puppetry, how to create your own characters and perform with them, learn to develop creatures and bring your imagination to life and learn how to think on your feet, great for kids with lots of confidence or ones that want to learn and slowly come out of their shells :)

I love this place. It makes no sense why the island keeps repeatedly being cleared of all the offerings and forest art that people create. Thank you to The People of Camlet Moat for standing up in appreciation and understanding to represent the many who want to protect the site and its energy.

If It Weren’t for Pollinators… Birds, bees, bats, butterflies, beetles – these small pollinating animals are responsible for providing us with food, fibers, medicines, and more. Pollination occurs when pollen is moved from one flower to another of the same species, allowing fertilization to occur. With the help of pollinators, ..…

Waaaaoow!

This is what it sounds like when you put tree rings on a record player. This is an excerpt from the record Years, created by Bartholomäus Traubeck, which features seven recordings from different Austrian trees including Oak, Maple, Walnut, and Beech. What you are hearing is an Ash tree’s year ring data. Every tree sounds vastly unique...
