Our project is based on a community owned nature reserve covering over 200 acres of mixed habitats including meadows, river and wetlands, bog, ancient woodland and a traditional farm. There are over 7 km of walkways with interpretation and a community allotments scheme. We practice conservation grazing technique to enrich biodiversity using our own herd of rare breed Shetland cattle and Breton sheep. We also have two Irish cob horses, chickens and a pig called Pumpkin.
