Farm Wildlife Walk – East Lothian

Join us at Prora Farm near Drem in East Lothian for a farm walk with Graham Miller who manages a productive mixed farming enterprise. Discover how his integrated farming system has delivered real business benefits—while creating a landscape where wildlife flourishes.

Graham’s farm covers a relatively small area but is also home to over 65 recorded bird species including resident Barn Owls and a family of Kestrels thanks to his farming practices.

Why attend

See first-hand how simple, practical changes can support your business as well as wildlife:

• Reduce input costs – lower reliance on inorganic fertilisers
• Reduce time & labour – streamlined operations and less fieldwork
• Save on fuel – reduced diesel use through efficient practices
• Improve efficiency – focus effort on productive land
• Deliver environmental benefits – in harmony with production
• Support native species – allowing wildlife to thrive

What you will learn

Graham will walk us through his, “easy win” measures that support both farm profitability and wildlife habitats:

• Hedgerow management
• Field margins & corners
• Allowing low-yield/unproductive areas to go “wild”
• Water margins
• Overwintered stubbles & green cover crops
• Direct drilling (Claydon system)
• How farm steadings can also be excellent wildlife habitats

Come along to see practical and proven ideas you can apply on your own farm and help make it an even more rewarding place to work.
