We belived in giving back and by supporting local charities in anyway we can whilst running our business is an important part of out ethos.
Since 2020 Willie and Harborough Woodland have planted over 800 tree saplings at Cowslip Meadows, bringing benefits to the land now and for generations to come. Green spaces improve wellbeing and reduces stress. It also has a verifiable impact on:
- Long-term soil regeneration – Deep root systems increase organic matter, rebuild soil structure and support fungal networks essential for nutrient cycling.
- Improved water resilience – Enhanced infiltration and water-holding capacity protect against both drought and heavy rainfall, strengthening future productivity.
- Nutrient stability – Reduced leaching and improved natural nutrient exchange decrease reliance on external inputs over time.
- Erosion prevention – Root systems anchor soil, safeguarding valuable topsoil for future generations.
- Climate adaptation – Trees buffer temperature extremes and increase carbon storage in both biomass and soil.
- Intergenerational land stewardship – Establishes permanent ecological infrastructure that supports sustainable farming beyond just our generation.
- Support pollinators, provides habitat for birds, bats, and small mammals & crreates wildlife corridors
- Capture and store carbon & Improve local air quality

We continue to support The Well in Kibworth for the important role it plays locally to create a welcome and supportive space to gather, providing essential needs of food and clothing and practical advice for those in our community that need it most.
This winter the food bank met greater demand than it has ever needed to in the past Local rural communities are quietly struggling and The Well is stepping up, supporting families not only with food and clothing, but reducing isolation and loneliness by creating a welcome space for all.
Please pop in to their welcoming cafe on Kibworth High Street with its secret garden space and enjoy a pot of tea or an excellent coffee with utterly delicious homemade cake served by local volunteers – we encourage you to drop in, it is a happy space.
