Re-Wild Eco Festival

Jaxon the surfboarders dog 

During last year I became a part of the Homegrown Society at my University, Falmouth. During this time I helped grow and expand the allotments into a natural haven for the students and staff involved. I have taken part in many of the activities there and documented all of them which will hopefully raise awareness for healthy sustainable living. There is also another project within this called The Green Living Project which is tied together to try and make the Uni more sustainable with compost bins in the halls, rooftop gardens, energy saving ideas and more..
To introduce current and future students and the locals of Falmouth to the project and society we held a 'Re-Wild' Eco Festival. There were many activities including a free organic veg stall, foraging, knitting, cider making , surfboard shaping, willow weaving and cob building
 (the cob has been in the process of being built all summer by some of the staff and students and it now finished and looking incredible)


All organic vegetables collected from local farmers and given away for free to students
