Bamff Estate places a strong emphasis on conservation and wildlife, has a Beaver project unique in the UK, provide a natural habitat for wild boar and enjoy literally hundreds of species of birds.
Visitors to Bamff will find that a strong emphasis on conservation management over the last 20 years has led to a flourishing of wildlife on the estate. Planted and naturally regenerated native woodlands on the low ground are full of birds and small mammals, and on the hill the establishment of new native pinewoods is underway. This approach is being integrated with an eighteenth century planned landscape whose fine old trees give great beauty to the surroundings of the house. Roe deer, rabbits, and hedgehogs, buzzards, geese and oystercatchers are a frequent site amongst many other species to be seen at Bamff. Watch out for frogs and toads crossing the drive in hundreds in spring and autumn. In recent years Paul has introduced European beavers to the ponds and wetlands and wild boar to the woods. The beaver project is a pioneering example of regeneration ecology and was the first of it's kind in the UK. The farm is organic, mainly sheep and cattle, and in springtime enchanting lambs frolic in the fields near the house. Andrew, who farms Bamff, is often to be seen on his quad bike with his dog on the back, looking over the sheep. If you would like to visit the beaver wetlands, or feed the boars with Paul, please ask.
