If it helps anyone I can take people around the site in an old LandRover-at their own risk. \nMORE INFORMATION? \nTo book your visit please contact jim.mcadam100@outlook.com  07796614870 \nKilowna Farm is on the east coast of Co Down (2 miles from the most easterly point on the island of Ireland). The farm is a small\, family-run mixed farm-sheep\, grass and cereal.\n \nThe farm (12.5 ha) has 1 ha of woodland and 0.9 ha of silvopasture (planted in 1995 -mainly ash in an exposed coastal location) which I am restoring    \n\nThe farm (12.5 ha) has 1 ha of woodland and 0.9 ha of silvopasture (planted in 1995 -mainly ash in an exposed coastal location) which is being restored\nThe farm has much better habitat quality than average for the area and better than the national average\nThe trees make a significant contribution to the carbon balance of the farm- woodland\, hedges and silvopasture (grazed ) account for 18% of the farm area and 22 % and  78% of the soil and above ground biomass respectively.\nPlanting more silvopasture and hedges offers the best chance to sequester more carbon.\nThe farm is not financially viable without subsidy (half the farm income last year)\,  so keeping subsidy is vital\nIn 2023 and 2024 we established c 500m of riparian buffer -some alongside the silvopasture\nAs silvopasture is treated as agricultural land in NI\, For the future\, having more silvopasture would  improve soil health and increase the  farm carbon stock without loss of subsidy\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n
