CFE Field Margin Mix

Want to support wildlife on your land? Consider our CFE Field Margin Mixture.

Crops for wildlife provide habitat for pollinators, nesting sites for birds and a food source for nature. This fantastic mixture contains UK native wildflowers, providing an excellent habitat for pollinators e.g. bees and moths.  Farmland birds need shelter, food and nesting sites and this mixture can provide all these. 

Sow in spring or autumn. Use as a permanent buffer or field margin in order to comply with Environmental Stewardship Schemes; SW1 and AB8.

In addition, CFE Margin Mix is suitable for use on fallow land, as part of the Ecological Focus Areas (EFA) scheme.
