CONSERVATION GRAZING - LAND MANAGEMENT - FENCING & BOUNDARY - PLANTING
HLM is a small company involved in Conservation grazing and land management services in the North East and further.
​
We can supply grazing animals to fit your requirements. We know in conservation grazing one of the most important factors is when to stop, we don't want the grazing animals to eat seed heads, this will remove any annual seeds for next years flowers, we will guarantee their removal within a small window of time.
​
We can also attend to many of the maintenance and repair tasks on your estate. Fencing and boundary repairs, gates and fences, rights of way infrastructure, grazing, planting, beat up and general assistance in any land based situation.
Our Services
We make use of our livestock to graze the land, in this case - Highland cattle to graze and then improve the floristic nature of the landscape by letting them graze on the dominant vegetation.
HLM have had a long association with woodlands through the Forestry Commission and the Woodland Trust being managers in both organisations.
Ecological survey services play a crucial role in assessing and monitoring conditions and biodiversity. These services involve evaluating ecosystems habitats, and species to compliance with regulations and to inform conservation efforts.
We offer a variety of boundaries and fencing services and can also offer repairs to most boundary infrastructure.
Our tree planting services focus on improving the beauty and health of the landscape. We provide customized planting solutions to meet your needs, promoting the optimal growth and longevity of trees.
Our land management services focus on using diggers and small machinery to implement necessary landscape changes, create and clear, pathways. Let us help you achieve the landscape you desire.
How our Services improve Biodiversity
The use of grazing plays a vital role in enhancing landscapes. By allowing animals to graze in a manner, vegetation is in check, preventing overgrowth and promoting a diverse array of plant species.
This activity helps to maintain open spaces, which supports various wildlife habitats and encourages native species to maintain growing.
Additionally the natural movement of grazing animals can aid in soil health by facilitating nutrient cycling and improving soil structure, ultimately resulting in a more resilient and vibrant landscape.
Their movement across the land also aids in dispersal, promoting the growth of various plants and creating habitats for different wildlife.

Our Highland Cattle history
Our first two pedigree cows were purchased in 2020 now with the intent to use them in conservation grazing. Over that time, we have built the numbers up and can now hire them out in numbers sufficient to tackle any vegetation night mare. Our cattle are regularly inspected as per industry standard and raised with high welfare standards. That said Highland cattle are a sturdy breed and can withstand tough conditions. We have some “show” cattle potential that we will explore later as our stock is from a good bloodline, our resident bull has had a successful career in the ring, however, retired now from shows, still producing good calves.
