“My role at the National Park is to visit farmers and landowners to advise on how best to manage their land for wildlife, so I always make sure I have a stock of these booklets with me to hand out. They are incredibly useful as they perfectly summarise all the salient points in a way which is very readable and attractive. Denmark Farm’s philosophy on restoring land is spot-on. I haven’t found anything as good as these anywhere else and now that they are available on-line, we’ll be recommending them even more widely.”

Julie Garlick – Conservation Officer  Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority

“These booklets provide great examples of techniques employed for habitat restoration and creation. They are an ideal resource for anyone teaching or learning about practical conservation measures.”

Dr Jan Martin – University Ecology Lecturer

“These little booklets are real gems, offering practical and useful guidance for smallholders, farmers and conservationists alike. It’s clear that the author(s) spent many years observing their land and trying out different ideas with great care. The fruits of all this hard won work, are simple, low impact solutions which require little input and work harmoniously with nature. Essential reading for anyone interested in how we can best regenerate and manage grassland and wetlands.”
