Donors give us Christmas cash for our rewilding

The Sharpham Trust is a mindfulness and nature charity that has been rewilding parts of its 550-acre estate and creating a brand new wildflower meadow, which will support lots of diverse flora and fauna.

In just a few years, The Trust's rewilding initiatives have seen an increase in insects, birds and mammals, whilst a brand new meadow in front of Sharpham House - planted this autumn - will restore a precious habitat for pollinators which has all but died out in the UK.

Since World War II, Britain has lost 97% of its wildflower meadows, so this work is vital if humans are to support pollinators and other wildlife.

The next step in Sharpham's rewilding plan is to plant and maintain more trees on the estate - and RH Fibreboard's donors will be supporting this initiative. Said Katie, "This company's staff are directly helping in the battle to restore nature and biodiversity locally and we're so grateful for everyone's generosity at this time. It's so appreciated by us all. Thank you".

The Trust was officially designated organic in 2021 and has stopped the use of pesticides and artifical fertilisers on its estate.

The Sharpham Trust's vision is to make a more mindful, compassionate and environmentally-sustainable world and the charity works at this by offering ways for people to connect to nature and themselves through mindfulness retreats, courses and conservation efforts.
