About
This upland sheep farm near Llanbister Road, Powys, encompasses a diverse range of habitats, such as scrub, woodland, and riparian areas, creating a rich environment for various species.
In addition, its low-input farming approach not only supports soil health but also contributes to increased pollinator numbers and other wildlife.
By improving the connectivity between these habitat areas we will be able to facilitate the natural movement of species, helping to create balanced ecosystems.
What we’ve got planned
In order to connect the three main habitat areas we are going to plant a traditional field hedge using a mix of native species. Before we can plant the hedge however, another line of fencing needs to be added so as to protect the saplings from livestock.
Once the fence has been established, we will plant approximately 600 saplings of hawthorn, dogwood and blackthorn. Following a planting density of 5 saplings per meter.
The total cost of material required for this project is £1000.
