New Dexters at Uncllys
We are now into the calving season here - we expect 6 and so far 2 have been born - Crispin on 12th June and Charlotte on 13th. We now wait for the other 4.
Art in the Wyre Forest explored at Uncllys Farm
Today a small group of artists met at Uncllys Farm to learn from local artist Claire Spence how to use charcoal and water colours.
Inspired by the bright sunshine and the meadow flowers they drew pictures of the orchards and other features of the farm.
Although bright the day was very blustery making drawing all the more challenging!

Unravelling the past of the Wyre Forest
Unravelling the Past!
LASER TECHNOLOGY IN THE UNDERSTANDING OF HISTORY
Are you interested in the history of the Wyre Forest Landscape?
The Wyre Forest Landscape Partnership take great pleasure in inviting you to a special event; Wyre Forest Landscape - Unravelling the Past!
To be held in the Think Tank Theatre, on Tuesday 3rd June 2008 from 16:00 to 18:30 at Think Tank, Millennium Point, Birmingham.
We are at the start of an exciting process, scratching away the canopy of the forest to reveal hidden heritage features beneath. A few small areas have been revealed already, revealing medieval ridge and furrow, medieval farmsteads and relic field-work boundaries!
Come to hear from the experts for yourself and see a virtual flight over the Wyre!
The Seminar will feature break-through aerial survey techniques, and their use in unravelling the woodland history and archaeological features! Scientists and experts will be talking about the project, what has been done and features that have started to emerge.
Please call or e-mail by 2nd June to reserve your seat
Tel:- 01584 813 828

Open Farm Sunday - visiting the traditional orchard
This 5 acre traditional cherry orchard now only has just over 30 of the 80 year old trees. We are replanting with a mixture of cherry and local varieties of apple- Worcester Pearmain and Scotch Bridget.Many of the trees have been planted by volunteers.
Farm Open Sunday - looking at the wildflowers
Visitors looking at the spreading pig nut brought about by 3 years of grazing by our Dexter cattle.
We also spotted a chimney sweeper moth that lives on the pig nut!
Farm Open Sunday - June 1st morning
This morning we welcomed 20 local people to the farm. Many are local landowners or managers who are getting interested in restoring their traditional orchards and meadows.
