Event details
About the event
Two years ago, 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, Barton Hills Farm reversion plots which follows onto 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.
