3) The estate, in the vineyards and surrounding ecosystems.Hush Heath Estate is a patchwork of different natural habitats and areas ofhuman land use. There has been a concerted effort to farm with naturalecosystems in mind, from considered land management techniques, regeneratingland (e.g., planting wildflower meadows), to specialised waste recycling andreuse (e.g., grape waste.).Below are examples of ecosystems found on the estate and the service theseecosystems provide:We planted approximately 10/15 acres of wildflower meadows.The presence of wildflowers with nectar-rich plants helps support dwindlingpopulations of native pollinators including butterflies, moths, and bees, helpingto sustain insects that pollinate our food crops. This is particularly important inincreasingly built-up environments.We have wider grass margins.Field margin strips can be important in linking habitats whilst also providing ahabitat in their own right. Field margin strips can also help to protect boundaryfeatures from operations in the field, acting as a buffer zone from pesticides andfertilisers.
