Leaf Art

Leaf Art

Autumn is mostly in full flow…

Today we decided to go in search of some beautiful autumn colours and capture the moment with some leaf art.
We waited for a less windy day and set out under a cloudy sky with our umbrellas in tow.

Do also have a look at our Autumn Activities Kids and our Conkers, Hazelnuts and Acorns Ideas.

We collected leaves in the woods and headed to a patch of green to start our designs. Elis cracked on arranging his pile…

We had great fun and lots of fresh air and even managed to climb a few trees, we wrapped up our leaf art afternoon by riding our bikes home.

You can do similar things with Forest Art and Blossom Art so have fun all year round.

🦇 The man did good!👏 Yesterday Andy finished 🦇 The man did good!👏
Yesterday Andy finished everything needed to make the bats comfortable. 
We have oodles of bats flying around the churchyard but after a few seasons of bat surveys it was established we don’t actually have bats with if the church 👌 this is pleasing for us as it means that we get the enjoyment of watch them on a summers evening with the knowledge that there are none in residence. 
Although it was established we don’t have resident bats, roosts or nurseries we still had to do what we could to accomplish them should they wish to take up residence in the church. 
As part of this process we have...
🦇Turned a dilapidated underground furnace room into a bat cave with entrance points, wall hangers and crevices.
🦇 Built a substantial ‘Battic’ in the ceiling in the vestry...a false ceiling was installed for this.
🦇 The children moulded and helped install bat tiles for the roof using a mallet and sheet lead method. 
🦇 Raised the ridge tiles on the vestry roof as entrance points to the ‘Battic’. 

For a building that doesn’t have any resident bats they sure will be comfy should they move in. 

🦇 Bats are a protected species and obtaining bat licenses to permit you to build without endangering them, destroying or disturbing existing or potential habitat in the U.K. is an extremely important (and lengthily) process.
