Sharpham Rewilding | NR

Location: Sharpham Estate – Dart Tidal 

Aims: To reduce grazing with a diversified range of animals including rare breed cows and periodically pigs to mimic natural grazing processes, encouraging enrichment of vegetation. Plant new native trees in great numbers to restore the late 18th century parkland. Ecological monitoring of birds, bats, mammals, reptiles, butterflies, earthworms and soil chemistry to document the ecological benefits of rewilding and provide our trainees with hands-on experience. It is hoped that this will help in securing future funding and serve as an example to other landowners how to effectively evidence rewilding processes. People engagement with volunteer opportunities, traineeships, walks and talks and visits from school groups.
