Welcome to Rowan & Thorn

We are a Druid grove based on the Surrey and Hampshire borders. Please have a look through our site for details of our meetings and events, how to contact us to join us, and "Voices from the Grove" for posts from our group (a few of these are below too).

The Fascinating Science of How Trees Communicate

Trees and the organisms that work alongside them are beautiful and fascinating.

We urge you to visit BrainPickings.org to watch a short animation on how trees communicate with each other. It's a lovely animation and it's really interesting, so very much worth a watch.

Call for the Ban of Long-Distance Live Animal Transport

Compassion in World Farming are asking for support, to contact your MP and ask them to press for the introduction of legislation to stop this cruel treatment.

"Our latest investigation into this cruel trade trailed one of the many exhausting journeys that unweaned calves have recently made from Scotland to the Continent.

Filmed over three days, this investigation revealed the cramped and gruelling conditions animals are forced to endure during UK live exports. Hearing the calves cry out, and watching them try to suckle and bite the bars of their truck, is heartbreaking."
