Sharpham Wild for People
Sharpham Wild for People is a project we're delivering with partners Ambios Ltd at Lower Sharpham Farm and is supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund. It will:
- make more space for wildlife and take action for nature
- assist in turning the Sharpham Estate organic
- re-wild parts of our historic landscape
- help more people engage with nature here
2 years into the project
