Four tiny ducklings need your help 🦆
These little cuties landed at our farm this week after their mum was sadly killed on the road, and we could do with a hand. To help make them a safe enclosure, we're looking for donations of either a small paddling pool or a trampoline net. If you've got one sitting in the garage that you no longer need, we'd love to hear from you.
We're giving them a safe space to grow until they're ready to be released back where they belong. In the meantime, our learners will be discovering more about wildlife, conservation, and why looking after the natural world matters.
Email us at [email protected] or give us a ring if you can help 🐥

Our new goat paddock is finished! 🐐 A huge thank you to our friends at ATM LTD, who installed all the fencing completely free of charge. Our children and families can now see the goats every single day as they arrive and collect from school - what a way to start and end the day!
We're so grateful for ATM's hard work and support - and the goats look pretty chuffed too 😊
