We're delighted to announce that Furzebrook Estate, working alongside Natural England and the Rural Payments Agency, has secured funding through the Countryside Stewardship scheme for the next five years.

This funding will enable us to care for, protect and improve the surrounding SSSI heathland, helping to preserve this important and unique landscape for years to come.

Over the coming weeks, months and years, you'll see our team in green working across the estate to improve livestock grazing provision, control invasive plant species and carry out essential habitat management.

We're proud to be playing our part in looking after this special landscape and look forward to sharing the progress with you along the way.
