Event
Demonstrating the habitat management & conservation techniques that have increased farmland birds & biodiversity at Peppering Farm
Agricology is delighted to offer a tour of Peppering Farm – for farmers and farm advisors in the county of Sussex – to explore the three pillars of successful farmland bird conservation: Habitat, Food Source, and Predation Control. Limited places available. Please register early.
In partnership with Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust and by kind permission of the Duke of Norfolk, this tour will be hosted by Charlie Mellor, estate gamekeeper. It will provide an opportunity to discuss learnings on how food production and conservation successfully co-exist at Peppering Farm, and the positive impact their farm management approach and practices have had on grey partridge and other farmland bird populations.
