BUILDING A COMMUNITY

Our mission is to reconnect people to the land, to themselves and to each other. From community dining and corporate events to volunteering in our nature recovery sites, people are central to our journey.

THE POWER OF RECONNECTION

Connecting people through shared experiences fosters collaboration on many levels and can be a powerful catalyst for change.

This connection can empower action. Shifting perspectives to inspire a deeper understanding and care for the natural world.

We offer a range of opportunities that invite people to reconnect with land, food, and each other.

EVENTS AND EXPERIENCES

From our pop-up walled garden pub evenings, guided nature walks to music and film nights. Our events are designed to inspire, inform, and connect.


COMMUNAL DINING

Through shared food and collective experiences, we bring people together. Enjoying our homegrown produce in beautiful settings with great company creates memorable experiences for our community.

BELMONT VOLUNTEERING

We are privileged to have two distinct volunteer groups that support us within our rewilding project at Belmont; our wildlife volunteers and local community volunteers.

CORPORATE VOLUNTEERING

Our volunteering days for sustainability partners and members offer opportunities to work together by engaging in activities that support our rewilding projects.


Wildlife VOLUNTEERING

Our wildlife volunteers help to monitor and contribute to ecological data within our sites, from botany, birds and bats to moths and mammals.


“It has been a real pleasure to contribute as a volunteer to this exciting project to increase local biodiversity. I have been undertaking the bird surveys with Bristol Ornithological Club and it has been a delight to see the increasing numbers of nationally declining birds such as Yellowhammer and Skylark.”

Rob, Wildlife Volunteer

“Volunteering has been so fulfilling and uplifting, to be even a little involved in something that feels like it is immersed in giving back to nature and the community. Joining in the volunteer groups is great fun, we dug and planted trees and got stuck into the jobs at hand with friendly, like-minded people. I can’t wait to go back!”

Melanie, Community Volunteer

“It is great to be a part of the surveying team at Watercress Farm, contributing to the valuable species surveys being carried out as part of the rewilding project. The work being done is a progressive approach to conservation, letting nature take care of itself.”

John, Wildlife Volunteer

“The rewilding project at Watercress Farm has been an exciting and welcome development on our doorstep. Many of us have had the pleasure of walking through the farm, seeing the obvious changes that have taken place over the past couple of years. We look forward to seeing this inspiring project grow over the next few years.”

Patricia, Community Volunteer

“It has been a really enjoyable year & many thanks for the access to the rewilding project. We are looking forward to building on the results & seeing what they may tell us about the site so far.”

Paul, Wildlife Volunteer
