HARP ACTIVITIES
Some of our recent projects
Project
Forest
Our first project, in 2014, was to create a woodland with a variety of native trees, including Hazel and Willow. We planted 10 acres with over 6000 native trees and shrubs. This has created a diverse wildlife habitat.
Garden
Buddies
The ‘Garden Buddies’ projects, ran with a group of unemployed young people working and learning, side by side with a group with learning disabilities. Sharing friendship and respecting each other.
Poly
tunnel
We all worked together to clear the site for the poly tunnel. We then had to measure the site and work out the dimensions of the poly tunnel. The team members had a lot of fun doing it.
