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
