The Willows Lakeside Retreat
We have also integrated Agroforestry with alleys of chestnut and hazel and a Nuttery growing a variety of nut trees. It is important that regenerative agriculture and the more than human species can thrive together.
We share the land with so much life, from butterflies and dragonflys, glow worms and beetles, bats and birds, badgers and deer.
We are open for tours and field trips to learn about rewilding and conservation.
Many thanks for our wonderful volunteers at Wilder Horsham District, Sussex Wildlife Trust and Storrington Conservation Society

Conservation and Rewilding
Primarily this is a Nature reserve (of course Nature includes humanimals too).
Working with local conservation groups we have created a mosaic of habitat.
We have learnt from the beavers and built 15 leaky dams, layed hedges, created wildflower meadows, planted native trees, left dense areas of bramble and built beautiful dead hedges.
Many species need our help with housing too, so we have a put up a kingfisher box ( for our resident kingfishers), tawny and barn owl boxes and a swift and housemartin tower (with a microphone which calls to them).
