About
At over 1,000m above sea level, this project is high!
A result of this altitude? This location is fully exposed to the elements.
Wern Farm is an upland hill farm, running a large flock. The sheep are well adapted the the high ground and harsh conditions.
There are a number of scots pines plantations that act as windbreaks on the hill but a lack of hedgerows means that there isn’t much shelter for crops, livestock and wildlife.
That’s where we come in…
Our Work
We were very lucky to work closely with the Powell family on this project, who offered to undertake the practical work with gusto.
We sourced the fencing materials and the family used their own machinery to carry out the work. Once the fence was established, the 1,000 saplings were purchased and a mix of Hawthorn, Hazel, Dogrose, Blackthorn and Field Maple was planted over the 230m stretch.
