SUMMARY:Farming and Wildlife by Nicholas Watts
DESCRIPTION:Nicholas has farmed at Vine House Farm since 1964. He started recording the breeding birds on his farm in 1982. In 1992 he realised there had been a large decline of some species\, this worried him so he decided to try and stop this decline and by chance Vine House Bird foods was created. \nSince 1992 there has been extensive habitat creation at Vine House Farm and Nicholas has won\nmore awards for conservation on his farm than any other farmer in the UK. He has also received the MBE for his work. \nNicholas researches and trials conservation ideas and then shares results and advice with other farmers and conservation bodies.
