Since 1995 we have been heavily involved with the protection and enhancement of the environment that we farm in. Since 1995 we have planted over 17000m of new hedgerows (17km), fenced off 4.8 hectares of Water Margins, managed 40 hectares of Wetland as well as 60ha of grazing land to benefit ground nesting birds. The 1800ha hill is managed to enhance the habitat of Black Grouse through a programme of Muirburn and sheep grazing management. No artificial fertilisers have been used for nearly six years now and all the land is in the final stages of conversion to Organic status. (SOPA member 1053). We are now in 3 SRDP plans at the moment which will continue the good work we have done in the previous environmental schemes.
