BIODIVERSITY

------

We have both mid-tier and higher level stewardship schemes. The mid-tier scheme is based around the home farm and includes 32 acres of wildflower, pollen and nectar and wild bird food mixes, as well as wide margins, wildlife corridors and winter bird feeding.

The HLS scheme is based in Noneley, the main element being a 70 acre block that we are returning to fen by raising the water levels and managing it with rare breed cattle for the benefit of birds, invertebrates and
wetland flora.

We have also built a wetland system at Wykey farm which aids filtration
of yard run-off. Water exiting the wetland is tested weekly and is of
high quality.
