Environment
For many years wildlife and the environment have played a very important part in the management of the Estate and this has been reflected in the abundance of diverse flora and fauna. We have entered a 10 year Higher Level Stewardship Scheme and aim to mix modern agriculture and forestry with best environmental practices. In 2011 we won The Game and Wildlife Trusts Grey Partridge Trophy and the 1995 -2006 Host Farmer’s Award from The Farmers Conservation Group and CPRE Hedgerow management competition. Every in-hand arable field has a 5.0m margin around the outside which substantially enhances the wildlife habitat.
