Project Name
TV058 – Habitat creation and water quality improvement at Old Solomons Farm

Business name (name of lead applicant)
Old Solomons Farm 

Town (location)
Latchley

Summary of proposal inc. proposed output
Subdivide permanent pasture field with edible hedges (fruit and nut) 270m in total creating new habitat that connects established habitats of woodland, hedges and the river bank.

The hedges also provide shade for livestock, smaller field sizes allow more control of rotational grazing and longer rest periods which in turn reduces the need for wormers, encourages greater biodiversity and increases carbon sequestration, making grazing more resilient on the farm.
