About this Event

We are holding this event to showcase the work we have completed through our latest Farming in Protected Landscapes project, Grazing for Nature. This has included:

  • Producing a 'Plan for Every Field' by completing a Phase 1 Botanical Survey and VESS analysis for every field parcel on the farm, which will help us to improve our grazing management
  • Recording our day-to-day grazing management and analysing the data to aid decision making
  • Improving the resilience of our native grasslands by overseeding a mix of deep-rooting grasses (Tall Fescue and Cocksfoot) with wildflowers over 81 hectares
  • Reseeding 7 former cover crop areas with 4 different mixes to assess how different pasture mixes perform in a regenerative grazing system (we will talk through what we've done and why, and have a look at how these areas are growing after being planted in October 2025)
