All the team at DVT are first aid trained and when we do our refresher it isn’t class room based - here is Claire practicing the recovery position on a hill in the rain!

Every year we welcome the cows to the Ancient Meadow to graze. This year we are delighted to have six Highland Coo and Coo Crosses. Please say hello over the fence but don’t get in the way of the horns!

Carols At The King Oak has become an annual event and the fairy lights and mulled wine by the fire really get you in the mood for Christmas.

Every year the team and volunteers enjoy a Christmas meal together. The Royal Exchange in Lindford were our hosts again this year and our new Chair Of Trustees Paul enjoyed making his first Christmas speech.

We joined forces with other conservation groups to help ARC with gorse clearance on Broxhead Common. Team work makes the dream work!

Autumn colours are on full display as you walk through the site.

Our Remembrance Walk at Hogmoor has proved an emotional success. Our aim was to bring the stories behind the names of the men on our town war memorial to life. A sobering walk the names and ages of these men and then dive deeper using the QR code to discover where they lived and who they left behind.

Halloween fun with our very own DVT mad scientist DR Ken-enstein!

Attending our first Bohdunt Careers Fayrez Grat to meet so many your bf people I toted n a carer in conservation.

A spooky-tastic night with the Bordon Belles WI discovering all the thing that go bump in the night (and discovering online soup by the fire!)

What a great day at Blackmoor Apple Tasting. At the DVT stall you could enjoy craft, drill a conker and battle for supremacy or crush your own apple juice at our press.

Did you know that you can make soap from conkers? Our Junior Rangers had great fun smashing up the conkers with hammers before adding them to warm water.

Our last DVTalk of 2025 also was our big ‘goodbye’ to our Chair Of Trustees Nora as she leaves us for pastures Norfolk after 30+years.

Did you know that bats are heavily protected by law? You have to have a special bat handling licence to even look into their boxes. Luckily we know Batman and one of our Rangers managed to get this great shot whilst he was at work in Hogmoor Inclosure today. A new arrucal for Hogmoor is the Brown Long Earred Bat.

Our Junior Rangers are back in session! Today we made stick people weaving them yarn clothes and hiding them in the Nature Reserve.

Disco Ken is in the house - or in Hogmoor Inclosure to be precise. Silent Disco under the trees and stars, groovy.

What an upstanding day of military fun we have had. Vehicles, living and local history, food and drink all topped off with bagpipes.

A beautiful butterfly morning in Bordon Inclosure with a family trail, facts and craft and even a couple of live sitings!

A rainy Monday for Ken but he doesn’t mind when it’s pond dipping time! Lots of family fun today discovering what creatures are living in Knox Pond.

The DVT annual duck race, great to see so many people on the riverbank for this fast paced, adrenaline filled meander along the River...
