About the event
This is a joint walk with Hunts Fauna and Flora Society. The owner, David Felce has a great interest in balancing the provision of wildlife habitats with crop production and has previously received the award of Countryside Farmer of the Year. The farm is some 250 acres with a history that dates to 1135 when it was transferred from Ramsey Abbey to Old Warden and paid a rent of 3 stones of wax a year. Designated as a County Wildlife Site, the farm has a calcareous lowland ridge and furrow meadow. Our visit should coincide with the flowering a small number of the Green Winged Orchids. David’s farm has 7 historic ponds, species rich hedgerows and field margins sown with wildflowers and grasses. A row of Smooth-leaved Elm supports the White-spotted Pinion Moth.
