Following on from the sowing of seed earlier this year and the efforts of Ann Blackburn and others in promoting the project several new landowners have shown interest and offered their land for inclusion. With this in mind around 8 acres of new land have been prepared today and will be sown with seed mixes later this next week. Several of the areas already in the project have shown good growth and whole fields at these sites are to be sown . It is very encouraging that new landowners are coming on board and that existing landowners are very enthusiastic and allowing whole fields to be included. It is thanks to the knowledge and enthusiasm of Ann Blackburn (and funding via GBN) that this project is becoming such a success. there are few landowners in the valley that haven't heard of a twite now!
