This is a return visit to see the growth from the ‘HELEN’ project trials with a discussion on species selection and establishment, and potential benefits of increasing diversity in your pastures.

Treway Farm, Coombe, St Austell. PL26 7LS (What3words: motorist.flamenco.battling)
This National Lottery-funded Farm Net Zero (FNZ) event will be hosted by FNZ Monitor Farmers, Will and Kate Martin of Treway Farm.
Attendees at the popular event at Treway in October 2024 requested a return visit to Will Martin’s trial fields. We will give you the final results of the HELEN project trials focusing on the most successful method for overseeding pastures, and which species to include in your seed mix for your soil type.
Will Martin will discuss the trial establishment methods he carried out, and the subsequent grazing management.
Hannah Jones will provide soil and plant species count data alongside Will’s establishment cost and the associated carbon footprint.
Lunch will be provided, so booking is essential.
To book your place, contact Hannah Jones (Hannah.jones@farmcarbontoolkit.org.uk ), James Harbord (jamesH@wrt.org.uk) or Alex Bebbington (alex.bebbington@duchy.ac.uk)
