Farm walk with Tim May at Kingsclere Estates

Date : 7th November 2024 | 10:00 am - 1:00 pm
Venue : The Vine Hannington RG26 5TX

Join Kingsclere’s Managing Director, Tim May, on a walk around the estate to learn how a regenerative farming approach works in practice.

Kingsclere Estates is a modern, sustainable rural estate looking to build a bright future and circular community by balancing economic activity, countryside stewardship and community engagement.

Covering just over 2,500 acres of mixed-use land, we’ve been actively regenerating our soils since 2012 and became fully organic in 2023.

We want everyone to share in Kingsclere Estate, and be part of it together. So we’re opening it up – from the hedgerows filled with wildlife, to the pastures where our mobile dairy cows roam, to the fields where we’re experimenting with new ecological cereal growing techniques.

Join Kingsclere’s Managing Director, Tim May, on a fortnightly walk around the estate to learn how a regenerative approach works in practice throughout the seasons.

Tim will explain the principles of managing the land in a holistic way, which moves from taking from the land to giving back to the soil by creating a mixed (rather than mono) system that promotes biodiversity and growth for future generations.

He’ll also explain how he’s been radically regenerating the soil beneath our feet, and the shift from seeing land in terms of the commodities it produces, to the community that can be built there, with each system supporting and feeding into each other.

This regular walk will involve looking at the progress of the crops, grasslands, and the health of the soil.

This walk will be perfect for anyone interested in sustainability, agroecology, regenerating natural systems, circular systems, or simply interested in the local landscape.

Requirements: sensible clothing/footwear

Time: Walk approx. 3 hours
