One of our clients today was WREN – Waste Recycling Environmental Ltd – who brought their local network to Sheepdrove Eco Conference Centre for farm tours and lunch.
A tractor and trailer took everyone around the organic farm enterprise, guided by agriculture expert Faye. Spring lambs, piglets, chickens and cattle all looked wonderful in the warm sunshine. They followed the Organic Farm Tour with a Reedbed Ramble, led by our resident naturalist Jason Ball. Everyone was impressed with the reedbed, which treats all our waste water and is packed with life – today’s springtime stars being the frogs gathered to breed at the wildflife pond.
Lunch today was organic Shepherd’s Pie, or Gardener’s Pie for vegetarians, with seasonal roast root vegetables and spring leaf salad. Dessert was Lemon Pudding with cream.
What is WREN?
Advisory members, with knowledge of the the area’s environmental needs, participate in the WREN network to help ensure the best allocation of local grants. WREN receives the majority of its funding from the landfill tax levied by Waste Recycling Group.
