Recently we enjoyed a wonderful #WildWorkDay with a fabulous team from Nottingham Building Society. They worked really hard coppicing willow in our ridge and furrow at Wheatear field, where they gained some ‘moo’ colleagues! The task they completed is part of our essential reserve management work.    The day ended with mindfulness and deep discussion in our woodland, focusing on the theme of #WorldMentalHealthDay which was workplace mental health. Thank you all for your dedication to the physical labour but also the reflective conversation and team building that took place afterwards.   Photos: Sue Stapleton   Further information on our Wild Away Days can be found here: https://lnkd.in/e4KiE8kS

There is nothing like good science...even when it starts with poo...on rafts! Great work for our water vole project to get DNA and see as and when local populations of water vole start breeding with the recently released family groups within our beaver enclosure at Idle Valley Nature Reserve. All in good time.

Great to see some coverage of our work at Vicar Water Country Park, part of our 3 Rivers Restoration project, a partnership between us and Severn Trent!💧 This is a truly exciting project, and we are extremely proud of its progress.
