CVN is proud to celebrate International Women’s Day today. We are stronger because of the women involved in delivering our service. Not just those pictured below but also the strong team of directors who work so hard behind the scenes. #internationalwomensday2024 #TeamCVN #proudofourpeople

We celebrated World Book Day reading a story called “Little Tree and the Woodside Web” by Lucy Brownridge in the woods today. What could be better than sitting down to read a story all about a baby tree in the lovely spring sunshine after a hard day’s work planting baby trees in the wood??

Laura our very favourite librarian also helped us out by signing our Makaton sign of the week – which of course was Book!

Our team were back at work today planting more trees in our woodland. Today it was the turn of some baby hazel and rowan trees to receive CVN effort and attention. We are looking forward to watching them grow. We wondered how long it might take for them to be taller than the tree guards and then taller than our children and our grown ups 🤔

“We come back after lunch and see if my tree has growed?”

Today we were helping to plant trees in the woods. Angus showed us what we needed to do to make sure the trees have the best chance of growing up to be big, strong trees. Today we planted wild cherry trees and some silver birch.
We hammered in stakes beside the trees and covered them with a tree guard to keep them safe from nibbling mice, rabbits and deer.
We put our names on the tree guards and will be able to go and visit our trees and see how much they have grown.

Planting trees is the first task we need to do to complete our Junior Forester award. Only 5 more to go!

We are excited to be able to share more about our service and, in particular, our journey towards becoming a fully outdoor service and moving to the woods. Please come along and find out more.

We are proud to say that both Jordan and Katie completed their Outdoor First Aid training course with the First Aid Training Cooperative this weekend. They are now prepared for all eventualities although hopefully it’s never needed 🤞🏻

We are delighted that our very talented friend Ginnie (AKA The Sock Lady) has decided to make CVN her Sock Cause for 2024. Ginnie is an amazing knitter (among other things) and over the last few years has donated the money raised from the sale of her hand knitted socks to a variety of good causes. Last year Ginnie raised over £800 for her chosen cause and has challenged herself to beat that this year.

Ginnie doesn’t take any money for the yarn or her time so all the proceeds will come directly to CVN. As a guide the average donation is £20.

Here are some of the socks we have available for sale just now but, if there is a specific colour or size you would like, Ginnie will also take orders. Email Jane@CambusbarronVillageNursery.com with details.

Donations can be made via our PayPal link – please use Friends and Family to avoid charges.
