Last weekend (Sunday 10th Nov) the Green Team came back to Three Hares to do some more much appreciated work on the land. They helped us look after our planted trees by re-staking and replacing some tree guards to help protect the trees from being munched by deer. Unfortunately this is an ongoing job as some dog walkers are still sadly allowing their dogs to pull off tree guards. Thank you Green Team.
The crew also enjoyed some time at the Musical Forest, as well as having some solo time to write and reflect. One of the young folk, Alexander, took this time to write a poem:
Dear Three Hares,
With your rotting bracken
And trees so bare
Where once you housed both man and bear
Where once to the fires we fed
With sticks and twigs and leaves of dead
With moss and mud we made our bed
Where once you gave us life and death
But now we take your wood and grass
To supply our ever growing hunger in mass
But to the chaos of the human mind
And the peace that never seems to last
But wait, there is still hope
The green team, a mighty troop
To give back to nature that lets us cope
To return the trees that once did stoop
My dear Three Hares
With rotten bracken
And trees so bare
Where once you housed both man and bear
We care.
We look forward to welcoming back the Green Team in the New Year. Go Team!
