Working with sister company Habitat Regeneration we recently undertook management of a downland area in Kent.
We used a front-mounted flail on a crawler gearbox-equipped forestry specification tractor undertake in field scrub management by removing bramble and self-seeded blackthorn from approximately 100 acres of downland.
After the site was opened up, we took care of the boundary management with a tractor mounted hedge cutter and an excavator-mounted mulcher so we could then remove and replace the livestock fencing. The project’s goal is to bring livestock back into the land management system and help to promote the historic traditional chalk grassland and wildflower meadows. We are looking forward to observing the land’s growth and hope to see it develop and thrive over the coming years because the site is in a stunning location with a great view overlooking the Medway valley.
