In farming news…
We have been busy planting 100 new oak trees on a newly acquired block of land.
With the picturesque landscape of fields, hedgerows, woodland, and mature oaks surrounding us, we are dedicated to enhancing this natural space and creating important wildlife corridors across the Estate.
This planting is particularly significant as it represents the first step in restoring a lost green lane to its former state. Next year, we hope to fill the spaces between the young oaks with a native hedge. This addition will provide a crucial winter food source, nesting habitat, and a passage for local wildlife.
We believe that these efforts will not only improve the beauty of Rougham Estate but also contribute positively to the local ecosystem. Thank you for supporting us in this important work of restoration and preservation.
And enjoy taking in the sights on your walks around the Estate grounds!
