For over 10 years the Estate have been taking a radical new approach landdowner Charlie Burrell is managing his land in a wilder way. Once a traditional arable and dairy farm, for the last 11 years the estate has been restoring and regenerating the land to boost biodiversity and allow less intensive meat production. The 1,400 hectares are grazed by roaming herds of Old English Longhorn cattle, Exmoor ponies, pigs and deer as part of the estate’s Wildland project. A stretch of the River Adur which flows through the estate is also being changed – having been canalised in the past, the path of the river is being more naturalised to restore meanders and to incorporate natural floodplains.
We will be taken on a tour of the site to see the results first hand. Places are limited so please contact Mick on 01903 745971 to reserve a place.
