Church Farm

A 1995 Tender Scheme success with access to a small part of a 6 ha site on farmland in the Mease Lowlands.  The landowner has planted scattered blocks of woodland around the site. Access is available to the small spinney off the bridleway.  The woodland contains picnic tables and an interpretation board explaining the planting and management of the spinney. Oak, sweet chestnut, birch and corsican pine are the main species planted. The pine will be removed by gradual thinning to generate some income and allow the oak to grow on for 120 years or so.
