	Matt Johnson BSc (Hons) Nat.Dip - PASTURE MANAGEMENT Matt has recently joined our team this year here to manage all aspects of the land care side of the farm. We felt that as the farm is within the New Forest National Park, we wanted to maintain it to the highest standards and so have created this position for a person dedicated to undertake this. Working under the Parks and Land Management Guidelines, he will manage the restoration and creation of new hedgerows, improvement of the grasslands with natural fertilisers, and establish a good weed control program and rotational grazing system. As well as experience in this field, he has also competed up to Novice level British Eventing so understands well the equine side of things as well. Click photo (right) for large pics:
