Agriculture Stewardship

Woodland Management

There are 100 acres of woodland.

We are involved in ensuring that the trees are kept healthy and creating an environment for wildlife.

Subject to availability we have started selling logs to local people during autumn.

Landscapes

Water - lakes, ponds

Hedgerow management - cut and laid hedging.

Dry stone walling is carried out and maintained by Max Garrett who lives in Charlton.

Special Projects

Calcereous grasslands are under threat in Northamptonshire and we are managing a very special site at Stonepits which has numerous wild flowers.  We are establishgin wild flower meadows in previously arable cropped fields.
