Let Nature Feed Your Senses

This little Fieldmouse, a resident found in one of our bug hotels was greatly admired by visitors from Milestone School.

The Fieldmouse

Where the acorn tumbles down,
Where the ash tree sheds its berry,
With your fur so soft and brown,
With your eye so round and merry,
Scarcely moving the long grass,
Fieldmouse, I can see you pass.

Let Nature Feed Your Senses

 

Let Nature Feed Your Senses is a three and a half year long project funded by Access to Nature, an open grants programme run by Natural England, with £25 million funding from the Big Lottery Funds Changing Spaces programme.  It is aimed at getting young people, disabled groups and older people out onto farms, nature reserves, education centres and city farms. The visits promise to be sensory rich and connect individuals with nature and the countryside through food and farming and to show how nature and the countryside contribute to their everyday lives. 

     

The scheme is a partnership between LEAF  and The Sensory Trust .

                                                                            

Billow Farm welcomes enquiries from groups who normally do not or can not enjoy the natural environment for reasons such as age, disability and social or financial circumstance.
