Project Wildfell
Ground Control’s 296-acre nature-recovery laboratory
Wildfell Centre for Environmental Recovery
The Wildfell Centre for Environmental Recovery is the biggest landscape scale nature-recovery project Ground Control has undertaken in its 50-year history. Made possible by an initial £2m Evergreen Fund investment, the transformation of this ex-arable farm will provide a showcase of Biodiversity Net Gain and Carbon Sequestration design, delivery, and management innovation in action.
