Whistlewood Common
Whistlewood is a community-owned social enterprise with ten acres of land in Melbourne, Derbyshire, where we are creating a new type of community woodland.
Another event on Saturday afternoon. So youth volunteers at 10am tomorrow. If anyone wants to join us for a couple if hours volunteering we’d love to see ya!
Rarely do we post events at anywhere other than Whistlewood, but this one is really important as Whistlewood develops not in isolation but within a network of other permaculture exemplars in the transition to a low carbon future. Two lovely friends of Whistlewood have recently taken on a farm more than 12 times larger than Whistlewood, near Matlock, with the intention of applying regenerative permaculture design to its 120+ acres and developing a farm scale demonstration of best practice. Mim and Rowan are inviting friends and supporters to a briefing, talk and networking at the farm on Sat 28 May. ![]()
