Annie is a nature artist who, through We Be Kids helps children and families connect with nature and boost their wellbeing. In this film she will show you how to make a leaf bowl from your foraged leaves. When dry, the leaf bowl is sure to bring some nature goodness into your home to use as a fruit bowl or to store your other nature finds in.

Pam at Higher Druid Wood is growing several different blocks of hazel for various purposes, including coppicing for making hurdles and other useful structures, and using the nuts for making hazelnut oil and other edibles. We learn about the difference between cobnuts and filberts, and how coppicing benefits the landscape. Thanks to Pam Macdonald at Higher Druid Wood. Film by Jemma Cholawo: www.jemmacholawo.com

Back at Higher Druid Wood, Pam shows us round the community tree nursery, explaining why growing from local seed is better than shipping from commercial tree nurseries located elsewhere, and the different types of trees that will go on to be planted in the new woodland on her land, and wherever the trees are needed around the nearby town of Ashburton.

Pam Macdonald introduces us to her now ten-year-old woodland at Higher Druid Wood on the edge of Dartmoor, showcasing the different species and reasons for growing, including carbon capture, climate resilience, creating a wildlife corridor, increased biodiversity, soil replenishment, and edible produce. It's surprising how tall trees can grow in only ten years! Thanks to Pam Macdonald at Higher Druid Wood. Film by Jemma Cholawo: www.jemmacholawo.com
