Pollybell Organic Farm has been named as winner of the Land Management category of the 2010 Business BTO (British Trust for Ornithology) Bird Challenge, the seventh award the farm has received from the charity.
The national bi-annual Bird Challenge is a unique partnership between businesses, the BTO and local communities which encourages biodiversity on business and industrial sites, and rewards businesses for their environmental initiatives. Pollybell was awarded first place in the Land Management category after 133 different species of birds were recorded on the farm.
This award follows six previous conservation awards from the BTO, including the Conservation Award, the Conservation & Community Award, and four times winner of their Bird Count Category, maintaining Pollybell’s reputation for environmental conservation.
James Brown, finance director at Pollybell Organic Farm, said: “We are delighted to win this award. We believe it is a real testament to our commitment to conservation, and I’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone here at Pollybell for their combined efforts in this area. We take a holistic approach to our organic farming - it’s about creating and promoting a healthy environment as well as growing great quality food.”
Pollybell Organic Farm grows organic broccoli, cauliflower, various types of cabbage, curly kale, celeriac, bunched carrots, beetroot, leeks and onions.
