NATURE RESTORATION

Packington has embarked on an ambitious nature restoration plan for 1,000 acres of its Warwickshire Estate. 

Packington has embarked on an ambitious nature restoration plan for 1,000 acres of its Warwickshire Estate. 

NATURE RESTORATION AT PACKINGTON

At the heart of the Estate lies the River Blythe, a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), which flows through a rich and varied landscape. Building on this natural asset, Packington is leading a restoration project that spans over 1,000 acres (400 hectares), transforming land that was once intensively farmed into a connected, thriving ecosystem. 

The core aim is to create a diverse, healthy habitat for wildlife, but this project also has a broader purpose: to share knowledge, inspire others, and foster a deeper understanding of regenerative land practices. Plans include a visitor and education centre, and a programme of meaningful visitor experiences. 

DIVERSE HABITATS

The restoration strategy recognises the Estate’s role in both addressing climate change and producing sustainable food. Existing habitats have been mapped and new opportunities identified to establish a rich mosaic of ecosystems, from wetlands to grasslands to native hedgerows, where flora and fauna can flourish. 

Land management will rely on extensive grazing by traditional rare breed livestock, including Longhorn cattle and Tamworth pigs, helping to shape and sustain the evolving landscape. 

The Estate is working closely with non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and educational institutions to ensure expert guidance and ongoing collaboration. 

visitor centre

From the beginning, our vision has been not only to restore nature but to involve others in the process. Brook Farm is central to this vision and is set to become the home of our visitor and education centre. 

This will be a space for:

  • Foraging experience days
  • Guided walks
  • Community engagement with nature restoration

While the centre itself is still a few years away, and dependent on funding, Brook Farm will still serve as our base for small-scale pilot events and engagement in the meantime. It will become the beating heart of the Nature Restoration Project.

Packington Estate ESG Policy 2025

Developing and maintaining an ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategy for a country estate involves considering various unique contexts, including historical aspects as well as the cultural significance of such properties, and their custodianship; past, present, and future, to preserve these locations for future generations to come, across all the three aspects of such an initiative.

Packington Estate has four overarching pillars that drive the spirit and principles of the Estate and provide the building blocks for all the Estate’s businesses, operations and projects. These four pillars are Stewardship, Sustainability, Wellbeing and Restoration.

The Estate is in a transitional phase moving away from more traditional, methodologies of Estate management to a progressive strategy, in line with current business practises and procedures. Much of the Estate is undergoing such an evolution to more sustainable operations. This covers every venture and project, from Estate stewardship all the way through to the Board Room.

Packington’s ESG policy is bolstered by its actionable and tangible achievements, framed and guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (the SDGs or Global Goals). We all know that big global challenges need bold action, from every corner. This initiative was unanimously voted into being by all of the 197 member Nations of the United Nations, and this was formalised with an Act named Resolution Agenda 30, to build a greener, fairer, better world by 2030 and everyone has a role to play in helping achieve these Global Goals. Packington Estate is utilising the SDGs across the Estate as a guideline to set out its pathway for all future prospects and developing over time, an equitable, sustainable, biodiverse, conscientious, and healthy future.

Packington Estate & the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

Packington Estate has four overarching pillars that drive the ethos and spirit of the Estate and provide the building blocks for our operations. These are Restoration, Stewardship, Sustainability, and Wellness. The Estate is in a transition phase moving away from conventional and out-dated practises, to more positive, forward thinking and environmentally-aware processes. Much of the Estate land and property is now undergoing an evolution towards more sustainable methods, not just in farming, but also across the board, all the way through to its corporate governance.

As part of this transition process, the Estate is a supporter and advocate of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. We all know that we face big challenges in today’s world: poverty, hunger, inequality and climate change are just some of the issues we need to address urgently.

Big challenges need bold action to overcome them, and that is where the Sustainable Development Goals come in, otherwise known as the “Global Goals”. These Goals are a plan agreed to by all 197 Member Nations of the UN and set in motion by Resolution Agenda 30, to build a greener, fairer, better world by 2030, and everyone has a role in helping to achieve them.

Packington Estate has taken on board a number of these Goals, and aspires to promote the Goals, generate awareness for the Goals, and encourage others to be inspired to take on the Goals in their own capacity.
