Grassland and Soil

Healthy grasslands and soils are the foundation of thriving ecosystems. Through regenerative practices like mob grazing, we can restore soil life, boost biodiversity and create more resilient farmland. By supporting farmers and landowners with tools, guidance and on-the-ground trials, Weald to Waves is helping to turn pastures into powerful drivers of nature recovery.
(For Members)

Mob Grazing kit Loan Scheme

The Mob Grazing Kit Loan Scheme helps landowners and livestock farmers trial regenerative grazing techniques that mimic the natural grazing patterns of wild herds. Unlike conventional set-stocking, mob grazing involves giving a herd or flock access to a small area for a short period, followed by long rest intervals. This approach improves soil health, boosts biodiversity, and can make grazing more productive, ecological, and profitable.

To support Weald to Waves members, the scheme provides all the essential equipment needed to trial mob grazing. Members can borrow a kit for an agreed period, receive expert guidance from the Landscape Advisor, and apply to keep the equipment if it enhances nature-friendly grazing and delivers measurable biodiversity benefits.

Project Aims

Promote regenerative grazing practices that restore soil and boost biodiversity.
Provide practical tools and guidance for farmers and landowners to trial mob grazing.
Support nature recovery by reducing overgrazing and encouraging diverse sward structures.

Collaborative Effort

The success of our Mob grazing kits has been thanks to our amazing partners, who have contributed their expertise and resources to the scheme. Without them, nature recovery on a landscape scale would not be possible.
