Education
A sympathetic and sensitive
land management system is driven by farming, forestry and land tenure
practices which will sustain the estate for future generations.

Home
Farm comprises some 2,800 acres of mixed farming, including
arable; 200 dairy short-horn herd and a herd of Tamworth and
Saddleback pigs; and a flock of 1500 sheep grazing on the Downland
pasture. The farm has full organic status. |
 |
Interspersed among the farms are 1900 acres of deciduous and
coniferous forestry all of which play a large part in making the
beautiful Downland landscape which surrounds the estate.
The Estate has a long-established education programme, which is run by
a special education trust, the West Sussex Countryside Studies Trust,
with a dedicated Education Officer. It arranges a wide range of
educational opportunities for students of all ages from primary to
secondary, through undergraduates and graduates. The Home Farm and
Seeley Copse Nature Trail, both situated on the Estate, offer learning
opportunities in the fields of science (earth science, biology,
natural science, zoology), geography. |
