Opportunities
ENGAGING WITH NATURE
-Â through rescue animal work, tree top imagination sessions and habitat creation to give back to the land.
About the venue: -
Up-cycled building materials? Yes, all of them. Solar powered? Yes with fibre broadband too... and all overlooked by a tree house, zip wires and a tame kestrel.
Â
This is a safe base from which to explore our private woodland and aquatic habitats. It is also where we house our USB microscopes, animal holding tanks, and the infamous Natural Sparks Biodiversity Collection.
Â
Wood burning stoves push out heat between the tables in the lab for the participants. One stove was a cement mixer in its last, more boring life. The solar powered battery bank provides LED lighting and other 12 volt systems.
