Lumiar School Forest
A bee-friendly forest in Wiltshire.
Lumiar is a small, self funded school currently with 25 children. The school opens young minds, while encouraging creativity, responsibility and environmental awareness.
The children are full of enthusiasm and eager to learn and care for their environment.
By creating the bee-friendly micro forest, we bring children closer to nature, build biodiversity, boost bees, and have loads of fun!

“Lumiar is a small, progressive school that engages children with fun hands-on nature-based activities and learning. Our aim is to create a unique bee friendly native forest with the help of the children and local community.”
— James Godfrey-Faussett
Why a Bee Friendly Forest?
Bee populations are diminishing rapidly and alarmingly. By creating a tiny forest of specific native trees that flower successionally, we can offer the bees an almost continual food source and well as their favoured trees for winter hibernation.
The children study and monitor the bees and the many other forms of biodiversity that Miyawaki forests make possible.
