Stoke Wake Farmland

Nestled between the Dorset villages of Stoke Wake and Ansty, Stoke Wake Farmland lies in the shadow of Bulbarrow Hill and the Iron Age fort of Rawlsbury Camp. 

Gifted to the CRT by John and Rosemary Collett in 2020, Stoke Wake’s 142 acres of mixed arable and dairy farming is managed by two tenants - John & Caroline Hiscock and Philip and Richard Dean.

Stoke Wake has 14 field parcels, all bordered with wonderful dividing native mixed hedgerows maintained to provide perfect wildlife corridors. The lower reaches of the farm are interlaced with a babbling spring and small ford crossings that provide ideal habitat for aquatic invertebrates and the abundant birdlife that feeds on them.

Noted species that can be encountered at Stoke Wake include brown hare, red kite and clouded yellow butterfly.

Volunteer with the CRT

Would you like to help wildlife and do your bit to create a landscape bursting with life? To enjoy quiet time connecting with nature to benefit your wellbeing, or to get stuck into exciting conservation projects with a friendly team? To learn new skills or develop existing ones? Whatever motivates you to consider volunteering, we’d love to have you in our team.
What We Do

The CRT promotes nature-friendly farming to help reverse biodiversity decline and combat climate change. We believe nature is integral to good farming and we protect, promote and regenerate our land and all life on it. We put our philosophy into practice on over 2,000 acres of working farms, small-holdings and woodland across England.
Slow-worms – the gardener’s best friend

The UK has 6 native reptile species including the curious slow-worm (Anguis fragilis). Although serpent-like in appearance, slow-worms are in fact limbless lizards and an amazing example of de-evolution.
Wildlife & Farms

To achieve our vision of a living, working countryside we have purchased 18 sites across the UK, each with their own unique ecosystem and biodiversity.
Conservation Volunteer

This is your chance to get 'down and dirty' to help CRT improve the habitats and environment on our farms, with a wide range of conservation projects and initiatives.
