The land at Chesterblade Hills in Somerset has been under the care of Ed Green and his family for the last seven generations. As society and the way people eat changes, so the use of the land changes with it. Chesterblade Hills aspires to be a place where nature and people can flourish together. Land is returning to nature, food is growing in harmony with the ecosystem, and people can enjoy time here in the natural world without impacting it. 

The Green Heart off-grid space has been created for groups to visit and enjoy time surrounded by this beautiful landscape on the edge of the Mendip Hills. If you want to help support the work here returning land to nature, Nature Gift is a pledge scheme that directly goes towards tree planting, wildflower meadow creation, pond and dam creation, and installing bird boxes. Donors will be able to come on Member Days and see for themselves how their contribution has made a difference.

An abundance of wildlife thrives in the area, including wild deer, hares, rabbits, foxes, badgers, mice, squirrels, insects, buzzards, swallows, rooks and crows. The ancient hilltop fort of Small Down Knoll rises above the landscape, providing spectacular 360 degree views from the top. The Saint Mary ley line runs from the site to Glastonbury.
