Funded by SUSTRANS ArtRoots, Three Hares has collaborated with Poets and Spoken Word Artists to create a Poetry Trail around part of the land. Poems, inspired by Three Hares Woodland, have been written during a workshop day, in situ. The Poetry Trail poems and map will soon be available to download through Echoes App for free, and listened to on headphones as you explore the Poetry Trail route, more info on that to follow.

We launch the trail on Saturday 26th April, 2-4pm, also as a free event. There will be a gentle walk around the route with live readings of the poems happening where they were created, plus live music from Morag Brown & Lewis Powell-Reid, Rory McLeod, Miwa Nagato-Apthorp, Joey Sanderson and Jemima Thewes.

Oh Apple Tree We Wassailed Thee

Posted on March 2, 2025 by Jcat

Last weekend (22nd Feb) we celebrated our Orchard that we planted last year, wishing the trees well for the year ahead. Thanks should go out to our hard working, dedicated volunteers Sima, Andrew and Katy who have looked after the Orchard so well this past year, mainly by scything the bracken to ensure the trees don’t get smothered. This in turn will increase the biodiversity of the site, as well as providing a good opportunity to learn scything techniques. We will have plenty more opportunities for folk to come to Three Hares to learn scything this year, so if you are interested, drop us an email or keep a look out here for dates.

Meanwhile, here are a few pictures taken by our volunteer Katy Lonsdale of the Wassail, and we hope that you can join in with the Wassail next year!
