| Purpose of Organisation | The Countryside Regeneration Trust (CRT) protects, promotes and regenerates our land and all life on it by bringing people and properties together to make everyone a Friend of the countryside. The CRT takes a holistic view of why the countryside matters. Wildlife, food production, employment, economics, and development are all essential. We believe that our future food security, human over-population, and the biodiversity crisis, must be addressed. We believe that nature is integral to good farming. That philosophy is put into practice on over 2,000 acres of working farms, small-holdings, and woodland across the country – where, alongside our tenant farmers, we are demonstrating how regenerative farming increases biodiversity and maintains sustainable food production for every one of us. Every CRT property adopts its own unique approach – guided by an advisor and supported with subsidies – to achieve its specific objectives. Key properties are reshaping their offering so more can experience the benefits of the countryside, from educational programmes to wildlife and woodland walks and talks across our properties. Our goal is to adopt and share regenerative farming practices that reverse the decline in biodiversity. Controlling invasive species and providing targeted help through our conservation strategies, encourages native and declining species to return. Sensitive land management allows native plant populations to regenerate, creating the right environment for biological variety of life in the English countryside to flourish. What we do Protect: Controlling invasive species and providing targeted help through our conservation strategies, encourages native and declining species to return. Promote: The CRT champions through thought leadership and collaborations with like-minded organisations, making current and future generations Friends of the countryside. Regenerate: Sensitive land management, from raising traditional rare breed livestock and protecting heritage orchards to direct drilling, a sowing method that reduces the amount of carbon released, creates the right environment for biodiversity to flourish, restoring farming landscapes that encourage and protect wildlife and produce high-quality produce. Green Farm Situated between the Surrey villages of Churt and Hindhead and gifted to the CRT by John Broadbent Jones in 2007, Green Farm is a 200-acre wildlife haven of regenerated native broadleaf woodland (chestnut), managed pine plantation, precious lowland heathland and pasture. Every year, CRT Volunteers help harvest apples from the orchard, which are then donated to the Garden Cider Company for apple juice and cider production. 30-acres of Green Farm is let to grazier Paul Ibbott under license and a further 1.75 acres to Highbloom - a local enterprise that specializes in growing native flowers. Lowland heathland is one of the rarest habitats on the planet with the UK having lost 95% since mid-Victorian times. Green Farm boasts a wonderful assemblage of birdlife including nightjar, woodcock, redpoll and tawny owl to name but a few species. |
