Isabel came back from Scotland in the autumn half term and one of the first things she did was to come and help Bev with a big willow project in Brackley. They spent two days making a long living willow tunnel with dome on the end of it.  Each pupil planted one of the withies.  On the third day they made giant willow minibeasts with the eco-representatives from each year group, to put in the school’s wild garden.  Hello to all the 500 pupils at Bracken Leas Primary School who helped us!  Your tunnel and dome should start to grow leaves very soon now.  Before you know it, it will be green all over and will look lovely.

During some awful wet, windy weather in January, Simon from March Hare Heritage came to lay the hedge in between the school’s sports field and New Seeds.  The hedge will now grow back more vigorously and will soon become properly stock proof. ‘Stock proof’ means that farm animals are not able to get out through gaps.  Hedge laying has been carried out in the countryside for many years. Hedge laying is where the hedge is cut back and skilfully woven to make a living field boundary.  It will be a fantastic habitat for wildlife.
