Her Land transforms Weston Farm, a derelict heritage site in Oxfordshire (OX9 2HG, UK), into a regenerative hub empowering women and girls with skills in permaculture, syntropic agroforestry, and natural building to heal land and themselves.Core Mission responding to climate emergencies and high domestic abuse rates (69% female victims in Oxfordshire), the project trains "regenerators" to restore degraded land and at-risk heritage like a walled garden and 18th-century threshing barn, fostering employment and trauma recovery.Planned Features and PhasesBiodiverse landscapes will include edible forests, growing plots, a cafe hub, play areas, camping, and event spaces per Living Building Challenge standards. Phases: Learn ecology (2024), gather collectives, restore with partners like EDGE (2024-2027), empower via workshops (2026+).Led by Clare Freeman (farm heir) and Becky Reid (environmental officer).

HER LAND
ite Listening and Learning: Conducts ecological surveys, wildlife monitoring, and historical research during 2024 "Learn" phase, mapping soil health, biodiversity, and heritage assets to inform trauma-sensitive restoration plans with women/girls.
Syntropic Agroforestry Planting: Partners with EDGE to plant stratified tree guilds—pioneers, short/medium/long-term species—in pruned cycles mimicking forest succession, accelerating soil regeneration via biomass mulching for edible forests.
Permaculture Zone Design: Applies zones from intensive Zone 1 (growing plots/herbs) to extensive Zone 5 wilderness, using Hügelkultur mounds, swales, and companion planting for water retention, nutrient cycling, and play areas.
Thriving in Nature Sessions: Weekly hands-on tasks like hand-digging, tree planting, brushcutting, path-laying with cardboard/woodchip, log carrying, and creative signposting build physical/mental resilience in 2-hour women-only groups.
Natural Heritage Restoration: Explores lime plastering, cob infill, and breathable repairs for at-risk walled garden/threshing barn using traditional materials, training participants in Living Building Challenge principles for employment skills.
Co-Design Collective Formation: Gathers women/girls via WhatsApp/Spond for iterative workshops blending lived experience with expert input, ensuring inclusive, accessible landscape evolution through volunteer-led decision-making.
Regenerative Pruning Cycles: Chops/drops green matter from fast-growers to feed soil microbes, enhancing carbon sequestration, biodiversity, and yields while fostering therapeutic rhythm in maintenance tasks year-round.
rauma-Informed Skill Transfer: Integrates psychology-led debriefs post-activity, pairing physical labor (wheelbarrows, brick stacking) with sisterhood-building for life skills, employment pathways, and community event spaces.
