Our Environment
Rectory Farm has been actively involved in environmental schemes since 1980 with the aim to increase wildlife and local biodiversity on our farm.
Our Environmental History
With a rich history dating back to 1980, Rectory Farm has been actively involved in environmental schemes. Our commitment continued through the 1990s, notably collaborating with the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of Birds) for a lapwing and stonecurlew project. In recognition of our dedication, we were honored with an award in 2010. More recently the farm completed a special project for natural England to reinstate the Coploe Hill strip lynchets, known locally as the Baulks.
On the Farm
The farm serves as a habitat for various species, including the Roman snails inhabiting the Baulks. We maintain field margins, wildflower and grazed chalkland meadows to enhance biodiversity and preserve the natural ecosystem. This all supports our move to more sustainable farming practises.
