About

We look forward to welcoming representatives of our community partners, as well as paying guests, to our Hanningfield site for a session on nest boxes. We will build our own nest boxes, then have a walk around the site to determine how to safely place them to maximise the chance of their being successfully used by breeding birds in the Spring.

It's also a great opportunity to pick up some Christmas craft inspiration, too!

Please do come and join us for this exciting day of crafting and learning about ways to welcome our feathered friends to our gardens and community spaces, at our fabulous woodland and waterside site.
