The land is used for holding some of Buddhafield's larger retreats (including our family friendly retreat) and has a salmon spawning river, the Blackaton Brook flowing through it which is home to kingfishers, dippers and a host of other wildlife.&nbsp;</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 7.5pt;"> </span></span></span></span></p> </span></span> <p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"> <p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">Buddhafield has a heartfelt desire to contribute to protecting land, and enabling people to build caring relationships with the earth that supports us. The need to preserve healthy soil and habitats where wildlife can thrive grows ever more urgent in our time. Frog Mill is a well loved piece of land that Buddhafield wants to fully own as soon as it can.</p> </p> </p> </p> </p>
