Through the Trust, we have purchased 29 acres of woodland and grasslands in Sussex which had been left unproductive. We have decontaminated the land, planted strategic areas of woodland and created an environment that supports a multitude of wildlife. The Trust is our gift for future generations, protecting our green & pleasant land.

In September 2024, our team arrived for the first time to clear four skips full of rubbish from the woodland, install nest boxes and restore the natural order. In October, our hardworking team came back shovels in hand, to plant the 3 acres of saplings that will one day provide wildlife with an essential habitat.

Working closely with the Woodland Trust, we started creating a new mosaic of habitats across the site. This included planting over 1,200 native trees and shrubs, restoring field edges, and enhancing existing woodland to support even greater biodiversity.

As part of our commitment to restoring and protecting the natural world, we began the next phase of our long-term rewilding project at Fairlight Farm. Working closely with the Woodland Trust, we planted over 1,200 native trees and shrubs, restoring field edges, and enhancing the existing woodland. These young trees will grow into rich, varied habitats that benefit birds, pollinators, mammals and future generations.

We have installed nest boxes for dormice, bats, and birds like tawny owls, treecreepers, and robins to create habitats for threatened species.

To conserve our native Bluebells, we are managing the site to prevent competition from invasive species. We’ve also installed solitary bee hives, ceramic pots for bumblebees, and ladybird hibernation boxes to support essential pollinators. Our wildflower meadow adds further support by providing a critical food source for bees, butterflies, and other insects.

We are creating rock piles, stumperies, and grass piles to offer shelter for amphibians, reptiles, and hibernating animals. Bamboo canes in the pond aid dragonflies, while Onduline sheets serve as sunbeds for reptiles. These diverse habitats help maintain the delicate balance of our ecosystem, promoting the survival of various species on our site.

We care about pets, people and the planet. Our values guide every decision we make, from the products we choose to the advice we give.
