This week we were delighted to celebrate the sweet chestnut tree.
We had a tree meditation and story about the sweet chestnut, roasted sweet chestnuts over the fire, alongside walnuts and hazelnuts. We baked bananas with chocolate as a sweet treat.
Some of us went on a foraging walk to collect sweet chestnut cases. We noticed the changes in the fungi and how they are now in varies stages of growth and decay. Using the spiky cases, we created cute clay hedgehogs.
It was a real treat to welcome Richard Cope, the owner of Powdermill Woods to the session. He gave us a talk about the history of the woods. It was wonderful to listen to his knowledge and experiences and hear his passion for the land.
