Group members: 7 farmers
Area of group (Hectares): 1,793ha
Priorities: Understanding our soil health and working towards extending our natural biodiversity and how to extend/ connect it.
We are currently working together on a Soil Association Innovative Farmers research lab studying soil health across the group.
Supported by the Endangered Landscape Programme we are working with an ecologist and mapping our natural capital on the individual farms and then across the group, identifying current areas of natural habitat, how to extend and then how to connect them.
