December Community Day

About This Event

Join us for our December community day, and relax for a screening of Derek vs Derek in the hub afterwards.

We'll have a range of activities available including:
Tree planting - helping to restore the wood pasture landscape
Tree maintenance - ensuring all the stakes and guards are secure
Tiny forest - adding mulch to feed and protect the trees over the winter
Brash pile creation - a really engaging group activity - helping to both create habitat and protect trees using a natural approach
Market garden - we're admitting defeat, and therefore need a team to help us to line the duck pond, plus general winter maintenance

9:30am - Tea & Coffee
10am - Briefing
10:15am - Tour of the Project/Activity 1
12:30 - Lunch
13:30 - Activity 2
15:15 - Tea/Coffee & Cake
16:00 - Screening of Derek vs Derek (optional):

Derek vs Derek tells the funny, moving and very timely story of two neighbouring Devon farmers - both called Derek - with very different ideas about the land.

Derek Banbury is an intensive dairy and beef farmer. His neighbour, Derek Gow, is turning his farm over to nature and rewilding. As tempers fray, wild animals escape and the landscape begins to change, the two Dereks clash over farming, wildlife and what the British countryside should be for.

But it’s also a wonderfully human film about neighbours, disagreement, friendship and the possibility of finding common ground.

We'll send out details of how to find us, what equipment might be useful to bring and any other information 5 days prior to the event.
