Virtual Tour to Beneath the Wood Sanctuary
Come and meet some of the wonderful characters at Beneath the Wood Sanctuary through a video tour of our visit.
Beneath the Wood is an animal sanctuary most widely known for rescuing the know widely known #53pigs from a destruction order. We visited the sanctuary to learn about this amazing rescue mission and to feature them in our membership magazine. The sanctuary is a piggy heaven (with some other animals too!) Come on our virtual tour and meet Gandalf, Fern, Eric and the rest of the crew. Please think about supporting them too by donating or becoming a Pignoeer!

Meet Eric the Adventurer!
Everyone loves Eric! He loves apples and everyone else's food. Currently recovering in isolation due to some lameness, he still takes himself off on big wanders to see his piggy friends.
Gandalf the Great
Meet Gandalf the largest boar at Beneath the Wood, with a huge character to match! He is slightly prone to tantrums when he wants his food and will push his way to the front of the queue!
Fern the ex racing pig
Fern is disabled as she was a racing pig in a garden centre, but she is really happy at her new home. Watch her tucking into her meal which is also how she gets her pain control for arthritis.

Hear the long and short about piggy tails and the truth of how they are disregarded in the meat industry. There is nothing graphic just a good explanation of the facts.
A very scared pig is saved
From being terrified of humans to loving touch, hear how this piggy healed at Beneath the Woods. It is a beautiful story of re-gaining trust after trauma.
