Summary of proposal inc. proposed outputs
Habitat creation, habitat enhancement and navigating a sustainable farming business while hoping to inspire those outside of agriculture; at South Haylands Farm.
Planting over 460 meters of new hedges to link existing habitats. Enhancing a unique habitat where adders are present on Kit Hill, introducing larger hedgerow trees (with steaks and protection) to increase biodiversity and carbon sequestration.
Protecting these new and improved areas from livestock with fencing, which will also enable us to better manage and graze the fields.
Tawny owl nest boxes, to encourage the Tawny Owls we have on farm to nest and breed here. Educational resources to help us deliver our educational visits to school children as part of our Countryside Stewardship application.
