Project aims
To create and improve a number of habitat areas on the farm, including hedgerows, small wooded areas, a hay meadow, and two ponds. In doing so it will create a mosaic of connected habitats for wildlife to thrive.
We would like to:
- Create 530m (2650 plants) of new hedgerows.
- Four small wooded areas (1.2 hectares in total) to include 610 broadleaf trees and 60 fruit trees.
- Construction of 2 ponds.
- Create a hay meadow (2.5 hectares).
Outcomes
- A greater number of trees to help store rainwater, reduce soil erosion and run off from fields.
- Creating habitats for species in decline, with fruit trees providing a food source for insects.
- Making use of unproductive areas of the farm.
- Creating shelter for not just wildlife but livestock as well.
- It will provide a wildlife corridor and link existing habitats.
