Wildlife

Hedgerows

Planting, gapping up and careful management to enable them to grow and thicken - providing excellent all year round habitat for wild birds.

Wild Meadow

Fantastic source of nectar for insects and wildflower pollination creating late spring - winter seed source. Also source of high levels insect and invertebrates.

Woodland

We planted a new woodland in winters 2007-9 with the support of a Forestry Commission grant. 1,800 trees and shrubby species.

Henleaze Wood is now home to barn owls, hares, hedgehogs, pheasant, partridge and many other wild birds, insects, mammals, flora and fauna.

Arable reversion to extensive grassland

Returning the farmland to extensive grassland, managed to different sward heights by our cattle, sheep & goats supports an increasing range of insects and ground nesting wild birds.
