<div id="story" class="frp-message-body" style="height: auto;"> <p>Hello everyone,</p> <p>&nbsp;I am planning to run the Trowse 10K run on 24th April to raise money for the Buddhafield Land&nbsp;Appeal.&nbsp;</p> <p>The Frog Mill land is within the Dartmoor National Park and is used each year for Buddhafield's largest camping retreats, including a families retreat. Many children are coming back each year enjoying the freedom to run around in nature, play in the river and learn about the environment through bushcraft sessions. There are 17 acres with pasture, mature trees and an ancient ruined mill. Buddhafield got a grant to do a full wildlife and habitat survey for the land, which revealed that the lovely Black Aton Brook which flows through the land is home to salmon, kingfishers and dippers amongst others. The intention is&nbsp;to maintain and plant up the site in a way which will enhance and protect the habitat, and preserve it as an idyllic spot for people to spend time closer to nature and practice Buddhism and meditation amidst tranquility and beauty.</p> <p>I have been to many Buddhafield festivals and worked in the Healing Field many years as well as going to the Family Retreat last year with my new son and&nbsp;they are&nbsp;truly wonderful events. It makes an enormous difference to have a permanent site, and it will be a great boost for Buddhafield if we can pay off the remaining &pound;35k owed for the land.&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
