RENEWABLE, GREEN ENERGY AND STEWARDSHIP
The Estate entered Higher Level Stewardship (HLS) in 2009 which incorporates our Entry level agreement (ELS) and takes in exisiting countryside stewardship. The main features of the new agreement will be wetland habitat creation, enhanced access to the estate, woodland and hedge management, pond creation and arable reversion over archaolical sites.
Growth of coppice for energy was experimented with by The Forestry Commission; this is now being developed as a method of heating Trumpington Hall and Canteloupe Farm with 11 hectares currently grown.
The Thoney farm has planning permission for a windfarm and Cantelupe sees the construction of a 28 acre solar farm in 2011.
