Butcherlands
Reclaimed arable land under conversion back to woodland.
Our ambition here, has always been to create a type of wood pasture habitat through a combination of natural regeneration and low intensity cattle grazing. We are confident that this approach will develop a diverse and interesting landscape full of wildlife, which will both complement and merge into the existing wood pasture of Ebernoe Common.
Butcherlands Nature Reserve is free to visit, but we are only able to care for Butcherlands with the support we receive from our members. Please consider becoming a member today.
