Basingstoke & North Hampshire
Welcome tothe Charles Butler 400 Foundation
We are bringing nature and our bee story to inspire schools and communities to tell your story, and encourage a new generation of environmental activists and beekeepers to sustain our natural world.
- I.
Bees in our Time
We take the bee story into Hampshire schools, village shows and the Willis Museum, showing children and adults how bees live, what they need to thrive and what anyone can do to help.
- II.
Nature in Harmony
Creating interest in the natural world of bees, insects, birds and plant life, and a strong sense of belonging that comes from connecting with the land around us.
- III.
Wellness in the Community
Time outdoors with bees and nature is good for people too. We run hands-on sessions and events with schools and community groups, working alongside partners such as Mencap.
- IV.
Connecting for Nature
We bring farmers, landowners, parish councils and conservation groups together to join up habitat into green corridors, starting with a farm cluster west of Basingstoke, so bees and other wildlife can move freely across the landscape.
