We have teamed up with The Wildlife Trust and joined their Wilder Northumberland project.
Cragend Farm is a rare. breed farm with cattle, goats and sheep, and we also very passionate about the wildlife and the nature around us and are regenerating the land to manage carbon and help reduce the ozone layer.
The Wilder Northumberland Network is an exciting, new network for nature recovery in Northumberland. The network seeks to connect land managers who are currently or would like to undertake nature recovery actions including wilding. The Wilder Northumberland Network endeavours to increase connectivity across Northumberland, removing barriers to species movement whilst also creating more space for water and more space for trees and scrub. Naturalised grazing and diminishing management are key to letting nature lead, creating a Wilder Northumberland.
The network aims to inspire members, provide access to key resources and peer learning opportunities, offer expert advice and share local and national experiences.
