DARTMOOR FAMILY PARK

Family Fun in Field

If you would prefer to watch a video about this, please click on the button above. Thank you 

This project is one of our biggest and most beneficial projects we would like to undertake for reforesting the entire area of our national park Dartmoor with the help of our children. However the success of this project will depend on how well OCG will manage to find nice ways through which to get all our children to become passionate about planting trees and how well us as their parents we will be able to encourage them to participate in all these amazing projects which are designed to bring enormous benefits to them and the entire community they are part of. 

Now, picture this! A family-friendly park filled with positive spirit and love on Dartmoor built entirely by our children and which will make them feel so proud of their achievement, they will be really pleased to go back again and again. You might want to say, in this case why not many of them :). We agree. There is plenty of space in our national park which used to be filled with millions of trees, where now is mostly bold. 

Our children, because we are including ours too :), will plant an orchard in words formation i.e.

Each letter will be planted with a different type of fruit tree (Apple, Pear, cherry etc). The reason for this is so in the spring when the trees will bloom, it will be easier to separate and read the letters. 
The children will be asked to build at home one or more single-use plastic cubes like in the image below, where they will be able to design it in their own way to reflect their creativity skills or add certain pictures, names etc. These cubes will be used to form the fence around the orchard, some benches, art sculptures and other ideas they may have. The children will be able to find their names on these cubes for many years to come, giving them the necessary boost in confidence to continue contributing in similar ways for the rest of their lives. 
In the park there will also be found wooden swings, sea-saws and other children's playing ground objects to give them a pleasant time whilst visiting the park.
These parks will also contain many colorful plants and flowers and 100% organic fruits which everyone will be able to enjoy at will. 

OCG will attempt to reach as many primary schools as possible in Plymouth, but if you would like to be part of this beautiful project, and OCG is not present at your child's school yet, please get in touch with us for updates and instructions on how to build some of these single-use plastic cubes with your children.
