Sunrise birdwatching and project progress
During April our project delivery really has begun. Nature survey volunteers have been busy out on the estate with early morning bird surveys and afternoon butterfly walks taking advantage of some glorious sunny weather despite the cold winds. Across the fields water troughs have been installed and fencing has started in earnest, we’ve several thousand metres being installed over the coming months where the perimeters of many areas are getting ready for the introduction of livestock. This includes a welcome to 1000 sheep who are happily tucking into our herbal grassland leys, this is a key component of regenerative farming, helping to boost our soil health
