We were joined by Notley Yoga at the Chatham Green Project on Friday for an evening of drumming. This week’s "Live Board" image is of the group drumming as the sun set. Beautiful.

Time in nature is good for our health and happiness. What a happy and healthy way to spend Friday evening!

Pupils from Canon Barnett Primary School have been visiting us at the Chatham Green Project to discover food, farming and nature.   Farm Manager Andrew Cook helps them to explore the life cycle of wheat before they cook their own lunch using milled wheat flour.   Flat breads for all!

We found this beauty basking on the window sill in the Education Centre today. We think it’s a grass spider.   What do you think?

We normally publish images from our Chatham Green Site for the live board update each week, but due to the recent horrors that have been inflicted on the #rhino, we wanted to demonstrate our support for and solidarity with our colleagues working to save this iconic #wilderness species.

This gorgeous baby rhino was photographed by our Education Officer Jenna during a recent field trip to South Africa.

Badger’s Eye View! This is a great time of year to look out for nature highways – badgers are especially good at making them as they ramble around looking for food at night, like this one in our meadow.

This barn owl has been using our peaceful site to hunt small mammals most afternoons for the past month.

The snow and the cold may have kept us indoors but tracks in the snow showed the rabbits had remained very active, their tracks often followed by those of a fox!

This large buzzard is regularly spotted hunting small mammals and birds around our field margins, which are left to grow wild to create wildlife habitat, and are clearly working very well. 1

Did you know...?

The African elephant is of massive importance to the ecosystem and their survival is vital for many new plants to grow in different areas and cross fertilise, as they ingest plants and fruits, walk for miles, and excrete the seeds in fertile dung piles. They also dig holes to expose underground springs, allowing smaller animals to access water in drier times. www.wildernessfoundation.org.uk
