About this Event
Come and join Youngwilders at Pounce Hall for a day of wetland creation and planting flowers to restore the grassland!
Who is this for?
For young people aged 18-30 interested in spending time outside and doing some hands-on nature recovery work!
What to expect:
We will be planting wetland plug plants around some newly created dams and ponds! And introducing native wildflower species to an area of unloved grassland :)
About Pounce Hall:
Pounce Hall is a piece of land made up of three fields totalling around 19 acres located just outside Saffron Walden in North Essex. It has historically been mown for hay and grazed. The intensity of these processes, combined with over-fertility from surrounding intensive agriculture and a very high density of deer have led the land to ecological disrepair.
Youngwilders have been working on the site for the past 3 years to establish a woodland pasture type ecosystem on the land.

Accessibility:
The Pounce Hall parameter can be accessed easily by car, but the fields themselves are rough terrain with only desire line paths through the long grass. The site is small so there is less need for extended movement compared to other sites (walking max 5mins at a time), and there is great cover for resting in the main barn, which remains quiet most of the day
