Exciting Volunteer Projects: Get Involved & Support Us

Welcome to the MOP Projects page! Here, you’ll find a collection of exciting and creative projects made by our talented volunteers at Meadow Orchard Project (MOP). These projects range from birdboxes and batboxes to biochar retorts, portable pole lathes, and fun activities like the Pinecar Derby Racers. If you’ve enjoyed building any of these projects, we encourage you to make a donation to support the ongoing efforts of MOP. Your contributions help us continue to create meaningful work for our community and the environment.

Feel free to download our plans, get crafting, and share your finished projects with us at meadoworchardproject@gmail.com. Whether you’re creating a simple birdbox or learning new woodworking skills with our green woodworking projects, there’s something for everyone. By contributing to MOP, you’re supporting not only our educational programmes but also our commitment to sustainability and conservation.
