Environment

Holton Lee covers an area of 350 acres and contains habitats which include heathland, saltmarsh, reedbed and woodland. The majority of the site is recognised and protected as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
Holton Lee strives to provide access for all to the environment with accessible pathways that interconnect the varying habitats, interpretation panels, resting places and waymarkers, as well as maintaining and conserving the natural interest of the SSSI.

We aim to be as sustainable as possible, we therefore utilise the products obtained from woodland management to make charcoal, provide food to our respite care centre The Barn, from Ashtree Cottage Garden as well as sell our own honey and venison sausages.
Volunteers are always welcome to help us manage and maintain the site so if you are interested in working in the wider countryside/horticultural unit or attending one of the guided walks which run throughout the year please contact us at environment@holtonlee.co.uk.
