Nature Recovery at Broughton Sanctuary
Our 3000 acre nature recovery project
The Broughton Sanctuary Nature Recovery Programme is a heartfelt commitment to address one of our deepest contemporary crises – our lack of harmonious co-existence with the Earth – an issue causing mass extinction of species across the globe as well as a deep lack of belonging for humanity.
Our Duty
How Are We Doing This?
To achieve this, we are transforming our 1030 hectares of high intensity sheep pasture into a mosaic of different habitats that coexist and work together, to not only produce food, but also work towards helping nature recover.
Within our land management plan we aim to migrate our intensive agriculture practices over towards a regenerative farming model that works to support nature. We have also dedicated some areas for rewilding, where we are working with nature, to get natural processes, the foundations of life, working again.
We are currently working on a new website to share our journey with you in detail, which we will launch in early 2024. In the meantime you can read a short summary on some of the work we have been doing over the last 3 years.
