This week we established a new orchard in the Low Horcum, North York Moors National Park with our partner Rounton Coffee. Planting fruit varieties local to the Moors. 🍏🌳
In time it’ll provide habitat for wildlife and pollinators, store carbon and improve soil health.
A win for nature and heritage.

Great to hear UK Government has extended the Farming in Protected Landscapes scheme until 2026.
We previously received funding for our Birds on the Edge project, working with farmers to create rich, diverse habitat to support threatened and at risk species like the Turtle Dove. A win for nature!
