Lovely morning in the orchard with the year 10 horticulture students from @ThomasKeble helping to cut the grass back and lay weed suppressant. @KnappFarmUK provides a brilliant place for young people to visit and learn about the natural world #Stroud

Super nice to celebrate #EarthDay2023 with the children @OakridgeGlos. We helped create the allotment space for them back in 2019 and it has provided endless #outdoorlearning opportunities for them since #stroud #oakridge

Today @OakridgeGlos celebrated #EarthDay2023. The children visited the allotment, turned off the lights in their classroom for 1 hour and held a cake sale to raise money to buy bird food #ecoschool #ecowarriors #primaryschoolstroud #gloucestershire

@OakridgeGlos @KnappFarmUK Thanks for the comment. It's our ambition to provide school children living in and around Stroud with as many outdoor learning experiences as possible, to help raise their awareness about the importance of looking after the natural world.

@KnappFarmUK supports #environmental #education across #Stroud and #Gloucestershire. Great to see kids outside, active and learning about how to care for the natural world.

Today we helped facilitate a bracken stomp @KnappFarmUK with students from @Thomas_Keble school. If done regularly, the bracken will eventually weaken, allowing the calcareous grassland, orchids and other rare plant species to flourish. In conjunction with @gloswildlife #Stroud

We are passionate about environmental education. Today we welcomed students from @Thomas_Keble who helped sow yellow rattle @KnappFarmUK as part of a meadow restoration project. The activity forms part of their Employability studies #Stroud #GloriousCotswoldGrasslands

[From The Ground @FromTheGroundUK]

Meeting @Thomas_Keble with the #CoPE coordinator to discuss this Monday’s yellow rattle seeding with the year 10 #employability students @KnappFarmUK. The activity will contribute to a period of community work and help students attain 1 credit @CotswoldsAONB @ASDANeducation

Massively worrying. I can’t understand why the government doesn’t get off its backside and do something about it. ‘If nature can’t survive then neither can we’: Global wildlife populations plunge 70% since 1970 - The Independent https://t.co/55w5XlNTkm

Just out of a meeting with the horticultural and employability departments @Thomas_Keble to discuss a new #biodiversity and #community collaboration with @fromthegrounduk and @KnappFarmUK. Check out the year 10’s #recycled #bottle #art @SEEducating @LEAF_Education

Last week's tree planting finally happened after two years of delays. Big thanks to the @WoodlandTrust for kindly donating the trees and giving all the children involved the opportunity to get outside and get planting! https://t.co/sKFjQsOKLB
