Green Oak Farm: a woodland coop and hedgerow planting

Dr Joanna Gore is a first generation smallholder at Green Oak Farm in Brightling, East Sussex. The site is a certified Biodynamic and Organic small-scale farm, rich in variety, from livestock and vegetable growing, to nature-based healing.

Joanna received a Farming in Protected Landscapes grant for a new, larger chicken coop located in her 3.5 acre woodland. She also received funding to lay a 200m stretch of hedge, employing a skilled local contractor to carry out the work.

It’s made the hedge a lot thicker and as a result she has noticed a lot more wildlife – including insects, nesting birds and small mammals.
