🌿 Important Notice 🌿

As we head into Summer, we’d like to remind visitors that swimming is NOT permitted at any of our sites and to take precautions to prevent fires, helping us protect both people and the natural environment.

During dry conditions, our green spaces and wildlife are more vulnerable, so we kindly ask everyone to take extra care when visiting:
❌ Please don’t enter the water
❌ Do not use BBQs
❌ Do not light bonfires or campfires
🔥 Report any signs of fire by calling 999

These actions help safeguard local habitats, protect wildlife, and keep our spaces safe for everyone to enjoy. The wellbeing of our visitors and the natural environment is always our priority, so please plan ahead and take care during hot weather.

For weather updates, visit the Met Office website.

🌿Kinship in Nature Halfway Through!

Halfway through our 6‑week Kinship in Nature course at Hassall Green, and already we’re seeing just how much reveals itself when we slow down and observe the world around us.

This week gifted us a woodland floor blanketed in native bluebells, bursting into colour. A truly magical sight.

And in the roundhouse… a moment of anticipation. Ten Great Tit fledglings, perched and waiting. You could almost hear the conversation… “You go first!”

It’s in these small, quiet moments that nature feels most alive and most connected.

More to come… 🌱
