Protect Earth Skip to content Faringdon, Wiltshire
The owner of this award-winning mixed beef and arable farm in Wiltshire wanted to make her farm more environmentally friendly. A shelterbelt to reduce the impact of wind damage and soil eriosion was planned which will increase food production whilst sequestering carbon.
Working with Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group, South West (FWAG SW) and Ecologi we were able to offer funding and help with the planting.
Fund the work still needed to complete this critical work.
On a rather gloomy January day Protect Earth joined forces with a Farming and Wildlife Advisory group (FWAG) to plant a mixed tree and shrub shelterbelt on this farm near Swindon. Despite the cold and rain we managed to plant 976 saplings with the help of our volunteers. This will act as a much needed windbreak for the farm and increase biodiversity at the same time.
Help us create and maintain new woodlands, hedgerows and wildflower meadows! We need volunteers to sow seeds, plant saplings, clear invasive plant species and pick up litter. No qualifications necessary; jobs for all ages and abilities. Come and turn climate anxiety into climate action!
With government funding for reforestation and rewilding tenuous, we increasingly rely on our amazing community to keep us growing regardless of political shifts. Help Protect Earth continue to restore ecosystems and improve biodiversity across the country.
Help us put down roots! Your donations to our Land Fund let us seize the moment when the perfect piece of land comes up for sale. Every penny helps us secure community woodlands, healthier ecosystems, and a greener future for generations to come.
