Ughill Farm Site Meeting

Martin Bennett updated the forum on a new venture where Sheffield and Rotherham Wildlife Trust have bought Ughill Farm.  The focus of the work will be as a working farm rather than as a reserve, where they are hoping to demonstrate nature and climate friendly working practices. This is a new type of venture for the Wildlife Trust.  The farm was initially bought by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, and then secured by the Wildlife Trust through donations.  They are aiming to improve Access land on the farm, and are considering improving access points.

PD LAF made a site visit alongside Sheffield LAF.

Louise pointed out that Richard Entwistle is now also part of the Sheffield LAF membership.
