Community Projects
Bishop’s Castle is a town with a long history of engagement on ecological issues.
I’m involved with a number of different initiatives in the community that focus on food, climate, nature and biodiversity and community energy.
Where possible, Little Woodbatch Farm links in with these efforts as a space for training, collaboration, learning, and sharing our abundance through seed and food production.
