Countryside Stewardship Scheme 2018

We have spent the summer putting in 1600m of fencing as part of the Countryside Stewardship Scheme using a Wrag Post knocker and some muscle power - thanks to Shaun! Our special thanks goes to Roger Kagan who has been the backbone of this process.

This will mean we can do rotational grazing and also give the wildlife at Cragend Farm somewhere to live, conserving the hedgerows for ground nesting birds and other species of flora and fauna.
