Woodlands wins The Green Business Award

Friday, November 30th, 2012

for the Eastern Region, in the 2012 Stepping up for Nature Awards run by the RSPB. 

  

Awarded in recognition of the farms ‘outstanding contribution to Nature Conservation’, the RSPB cited the farm’s ‘great diversity of initiatives and broad encompassing work that has done so much to foster biodiversity.’

 

‘This is really great news!’ said Andrew Dennis, owner of Woodlands Farm. ‘It’s especially meaningful because everyone on the farm has contributed. Whether maintaining our hedges, administering our photovoltaic installation, or growing and delivering wonderful crops of organic food. Well done eveyone!’

 

Andrew added

‘ There are lots of things happening for nature at Woodands.

And I really hope we’ll be able to continue fostering biodiversity through initiatives like our new turtle dove project  aimed at encouraging the return of the turtle dove to this part of Lincolnshire. Watch this space!’

 

The Stepping up for Nature Awards are awarded regionally. The Eastern region covers Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Essex.
