Carbon negativity and our future goals

In 2021, we entered 400 acres of farmland into countryside stewardship

Through this, we are growing a mix of wild flowers and grasses with a high proportion of red clover. Research has shown that “newly created wildflower meadows on what used to be arable land can capture 1.04-1.89tC captured/ha/year, rising to 3.17tC if a red clover-rich mix is used.” Source: Ecologi .
