Countryside Management

About countryside management activities

Our Countryside Management programme focuses on the practicalities of environmental sustainability, the management, maintenance, and conservation of habitats to support thriving wildlife. Participants will develop skills in plant and boundary maintenance while having the opportunity to use a variety of tools, equipment, and machinery.

Through hands-on activities, individuals will learn to care for natural landscapes, ensuring they remain healthy and vibrant. This programme highlights the importance of preserving biodiversity and promoting ecological balance. Participants will engage in tasks such as tree planting, hedge laying, and maintaining pathways and waterways, gaining a comprehensive understanding of countryside management practices.

Working in diverse outdoor environments, participants will also develop teamwork and problem-solving skills. By participating in these activities, individuals will experience the physical and emotional benefits of working in nature, from improved fitness to enhanced mental wellbeing.

"I've been in the Botton gardens about 6 months and I really enjoy my own allotment. I cut the grass today and enjoyed using the new compost bays to put the clippings."
