Over 700 years of history Clinton Devon Estates has continually adapted and adjusted in order to remain successful and relevant. This agility is no less relevant in todays’ ever-changing landscape than it was during the Civil War, world wars, industrial revolution or the recent global financial crisis. With so much history it would be easy to look back rather than ahead. The continual evolution of our strategy is critical to keep us focused on the future and to ensure that we meet the wider demands of Society and we are prepared for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

Conservation

The key conservation focus of the Estate since the 1990s has been the East Devon Pebblebed Heaths. The rarity of the habitats and the richness of the wildlife have earned the core area of the heaths important European and national conservation designations. These include Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), Special Protection Area (SPA) and Special Area of Conservation (SAC).

In 2006 the Estate established its own conservation charity, the East Devon Pebblebed Heaths Conservation Trust, to oversee the management of this site.

The Pebblebed Heaths are by no means the only area of conservation importance, or significant element of ‘Natural Capital’ for which the Estate is responsible. Within its boundaries lie additional European sites of conservation interest, three further SSSIs and 18 County Wildlife Sites (CWSs). All statutory and non-statutory (County Wildlife) sites combined cover 1,462 hectares, or 14% of the Estate’s land holdings.

In addition, the broader non-designated working landscape supports a range of habitats of high conservation worth. These include sea cliffs, streams, rivers, ponds, woodland, parkland, orchards, hedgerows, wetland, salt marsh and species-rich grassland. They support a high diversity of protected and non-protected species, as well as delivering a range of provisioning (e.g. food), regulating (e.g. purification of water), cultural (recreation) and supporting (crop pollination) services for broader society.

The Estate recognises that to truly deliver landscape-scale conservation, on a scale demanded by society, wildlife conservation must not be restricted to discrete reserves, however large, but embedded across all aspects of Estate business. The biggest gains for wildlife in the countryside will be achieved through appropriate management of our in-house, share and tenanted farms (8,000 hectares) and woodlands (1,800 hectares). It is across the broader Estate that we can achieve the connectivity and resilience our species and habitats require.
