About the reserve

Heather Corrie Vale reserve is a pathfinder project for Wilder Carbon. The site is a recently abandoned golf course which will be managed through natural processes in order to sequester greater levels of soil and above ground carbon, and significant improvements for biodiversity, creating a haven for wildlife.

The site currently consists of grassland, heathland and scrub habitats which have low floral biodiversity or evidence of wildlife. The project will transform the landscape to a broadleaved woodland with heathland, scrub and grassland. The site will be managed through natural processes to store greater levels of carbon. Eventually, water features such as ponds will be fully established and serve as water sources for grazing animals and important habitats for wildlife to thrive.
