Their Mission: to encourage Little Owls to make the Shop Orchard their home.

Why?

Lots of nature-y reasons – owls play a vital role in our ecosystem, eating invertebrates such as beetles and earthworms as well as small mammals, and helping to control squirrels and rodents.

And as an added bonus, they also attract other birds to the area.

How?

They are working with the Owl Conservation Project to run an Owl Club for the Shop Orchard where budding naturalists will get some hands-on ecology experience.

Who?

Any children, no matter where they live, can join Owl Club provided they are age 8+.

And it’s free.

Theyhave children from villages and towns in at least a 12 mile radius of Hampstead Norreys.

How do I find out more?


Fill in the form on their website and they will be in touch.

But please note that for insurance purposes the child must be age 8 or over.
