At Wood Farm, David, Annette and Aaron are working with United Utilities in a major conservation project in which a plan for the whole of the large hill farm, with six resevoirs within it's boundaries, has been drawn up with the help of experts from the R.S.P.B.

Wood Farm

The aim is to reduce damage to the peat moorlands by re-generating heather. The livestock will be fenced out of certain areas in order for this to take place.

Also in the region of 40,000 native trees will be planted in the gullies and ravines, again to help prevent the water washing the peat and soil down into the resevoirs.
