SUMMARY:Boconnoc’s Ancient Tree Safari
DESCRIPTION:Boconnoc’s Ancient Tree Safari \n  \nJoin Tim Kellett\, from the Cornwall Ancient Tree Forum as he leads an Ancient Tree Safari on the Boconnoc Estate. \n  \nWith an introductory talk in the Soane Room\, guests will learn about ancient trees and their special value to our culture\, landscape and biodiversity before investigating the ancient landscape of Boconnoc. \n  \nExplore the grounds\, deer park\, wood pasture and woodland to gain an insight into the amazing wildlife that lives on the estate\, as well as learning how we age trees and the integral part that trees have played within communities at Boconnoc throughout history. \n  \nGuests will visit some of the oldest trees on the estate where our guide will measure and estimate the age of the trees. We will explore their own habitats and the wildlife they support. \n  \nDuring the experience you will have time to ask questions\, photograph and measure some trees and find out why Oliver Rackham said\, “one 500-year-old oak is more valuable to biodiversity than 10\,000 100-year-old oaks!” \n  \nThis trip will include a tractor & trailer ride and a guided walk back to the house across woodlands and rough ground\, so please wear appropriate\, wet weather clothing and footwear. \n  \nBoconnoc Cafe will be open serving refreshments. \n  \nBOOK TICKETS  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Die wise with Stephen Jenkinson - A day-long workshop
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to welcome Stephen Jenkinson to Boconnoc this summer for a one day workshop. \nKnown as a master of storytelling\, over the years\, Stephen has worked extensively with dying people and their families\, is a former programme director in a major Canadian hospital\, and a former assistant professor in a prominent Canadian medical school. \nStephen is also a sculptor and traditional canoe builder whose house won a Governor General’s Award for architecture. \nDuring this talk\, Stephen will be walking you through his award-winning book\, ‘Die Wise: A Manifesto for Sanity & Soul’ which is focused on grief\, dying and the great love of life.  \nDie Wise does not offer seven steps for coping with death. It does not suggest ways to make dying easier. It pours no honey to make the medicine go down. Instead\, with lyrical prose\, deep wisdom\, and stories from his two decades of working with dying people and their families\, Stephen Jenkinson places death at the centre of the page and asks us to behold it in all its painful beauty.  \nWe look forward to seeing you for what will undoubtedly be an inspiring and spiritually stimulating conversation by Stephen.  \nThe talk will take place in the Stable yard at Boconnoc and there will be time between sessions to explore the beautiful grounds of the estate.  \n  \nRead more about Stephen Jenkinson’s work on his website.  \nTo purchase his book Die Wise: A Manifesto for Sanity and Soul \n ahead of the talk\, please see the Amazon link here. \nBUY TICKETS HERE \n  \n \n  \nWe do not have facilities on site for lunch so you will need to bring something with you for the day. We will however be providing a tea and coffee station which will be available throughout the day.  \nTransport Information: \nLostwithiel train station is a 10 minute drive away\, or 45 minute cycle\, with lots of hills \nLiskeard train station is a 20 minute drive away \nWe have parking available on site for guests. \nThere is no accommodation available on the estate on this date unfortunately\, however if you are coming from out of town please find a few recommendations below which are nearby to the estate; \nBrean Park Farm \nChy Bownder Cottage \nUnique rustic hideaway

SUMMARY:EXPLORE THE SOUNDS OF BOCONNOC AT NIGHT
DESCRIPTION:Explore the meadows and woodland valleys of Boconnoc at dusk into the evening\, as we have the pleasure of being treated to a guided walk by ecologist and ornithologist Robbie Phillips. \nDusk is when many of the creatures living on the estate wake up and you can hear the screeches and calls of our nocturnal animals as they head out on their evening hunt. We will hope to hear tawny owls and possibly barn owls as well as listening to bats using a special bat detector. \nWe are delighted to be welcoming Robbie back for a second year\, to host this event. As part of the evening’s agenda\, we will also have a hands-on experience with moths\, setting a moth light ( harmless to moths ) at the start of the evening to see what has come in by dark. This will give everyone the chance to see some of the beautiful species we have at Boconnoc.  \nRead our interview with Robbie here to learn more about him\, his love of nature and his night walks. \nThis is a rare opportunity to explore the private grounds of Boconnoc which are not usually open to the public. Alongside this you will be treated to expert knowledge from ecologist Robbie Phillips. A truly wonderful experience for nature lovers. \n \nA lovely testimonial from last year’s guided tour with Robbie; \n“Just back from their Guided Bird Walk which was absolutely lovely. A small group of us were taken around Boconnoc’s beautiful parkland guided by Robbie\, an expert ornithologist who explained all the bird songs we heard along the way… it was a really interesting evening!” \nAdditional information \nPlease note the walk will be approximately 1.5hours across 2.5km across varying and uneven terrain. We advise sensible footwear and wet weather clothes if raining. Please be advised to bring a torch/headtorch if you have one available. \nThis event is best suited for adults and children over the age of 12 \nYou will need a good level of fitness for this walk and be able to cope with walking on uneven ground. \nPark and meet in the Stable yard at Boconnoc. \nStandard price: £25 \nThere will be a warming mug of hot chocolate during the evening \nBUY TICKETS HERE \n \nAccommodation: \nIf you would like to stay at Boconnoc\, we have availability in our Grooms House which sleeps six people during this period.
