Event details
About the event
Last year Natural England finalised the purchase of 586 acres of the old Hexton Manor Estate.  This piece of land directly borders Pegsdon Hills on one side, Ravensburgh Bank SSSI on the other, and Barton Hills Farm reversion plots which follow on to Barton Hills NNR.   The future vision of the project is to create a continuous diverse habitat spanning across the local landscape working on the land at Hexton to revert it back to good quality, species-diverse habitat in keeping with the local characteristics.
Holly will lead us round part of the site and explain what is happening currently and what the plans are for the future.
