The Local Land Holding

The land is owned by the Harston & Alpington Livestock partnership that has small agricultural holdings in Harston,  Cambridgeshire and Norfolk; these are both registered with DEFRA and the RPA.     

The intention is to establish expertise in managing land for the environment and contract with other land owners to improve marginal land concentrating on sites  in flood plains.
