Take a break

We have recently started to run small practical conservation work parties again, adhering to the social distancing guidelines. Our volunteers have been working extremely hard and have just installed two rustic benches on Reeves Meadows. When passing why not stop and take a break on one of the new benches and enjoy the view.

LOHP on Film

Back in February we were approached by a local film maker Alex Irven of Parish Lantern Films who wanted to try out some of his new equipment by filming LOHP volunteers at work. To thank us he offered to use the footage to make a short film to showcase LOHP.

He joined us on one of our Sunday volunteer work parties (before coronavirus) and filmed the volunteers at work, he spoke to Trustees and took shots of our sites. He then went away to edit his clips, including some wildlife from LOHP trail camera footage. We were presented with a fascinating short film about how LOHP began, what we are all about and how you can get involved.

Take a look for yourself, I’m sure you will agree the outcome is something really special, thanks to all those who took part.
