Wildwood Grove
A privately stewarded landscape entering long-term ecological transition.
Wildwood Grove is a 29-acre site near Dulverton, Somerset, within the Upper River Exe catchment, entering long-term ecological transition following documented agricultural exit in November 2025.
The land is secured under a 30-year conservation covenant, providing governance continuity and ring-fenced management stability. This framework enables structured, process-led habitat recovery while supporting longitudinal ecological observation across soils, hydrology and biodiversity systems.
Ecological and hydrological delivery is undertaken with specialist partners to ensure regulatory integrity, scientific discipline and long-term performance.
Land Regeneration in Practice
We are restoring natural hydrological function and mosaic wetland habitat through:
– Relaxation of historic drainage infrastructure
– Rewetting and pond creation
– Riparian corridor development
– Soil recovery following grazing cessation
This work is undertaken within catchment-sensitive and policy-aligned contexts relevant to flood resilience, water quality and biodiversity recovery.
Professional Delivery & Oversight
Wildwood Grove works with independent ecological and hydrological specialists to ensure structured baseline assessment, regulatory alignment and long-term management planning.
– Richard Green Ecology Ltd – baseline and River Condition Assessment
– Geckoella – habitat uplift modelling and long-term management framework
– River Restoration Centre – process-led hydrological guidance
Longitudinal Ecological Observatory
A defined Year Zero ecological transition platform secured under a 30-year conservation covenant, enabling independent longitudinal research across soils, hydrology and biodiversity systems.
