Hello all.

I have recently acquired a small plot of a few hectares of coastal
(cliff top) land, and should like to maximize it's benefit to
wildlife, in a relatively unmanaged environment.

Countryside surrounding, with non intensive farming locally.

Any hints, tips or ideas via email please.

Sorry, I should add.Email replies only please.

Not a popular move on newsgroups. The whole idea of groups is that we share
info and ideas and that you should check in to get them. You will also
receive a LOT more information that way, too because people will suggest,
debate, argue and give you a lot more to chew on, basically. If you post to
newsgroups on a topic suited to that group you should expect to read and
receive replies there.

From the pov of urg, it would help to know the location because that will
affect what you plant, to some extent.

Welsh mid coastal.

I'm sure someone will be able to help you. What is the indigenous wildlife
now? It helps to know that because it helps to know what you wish to
attract or shelter. Are there trees and if so, which? What ground cover do
you have and what does it consist of? Is the land grazed by sheep, cows or
horses? Is any of it ploughed and cultivated and if so, what is grown
there? Is the non intensive farming organic or are non-organic sprays
used? If they are either, do you know which they are?
