The project, supported by £21,000 funding from Tarmac Landfill Communities Fund, is exploring how pigs can act as a proxy for missing native species such as wild boar, helping to restore natural processes that once played a key role in shaping diverse habitats and ecosystems in Derbyshire.

Three young, female pigs have now been introduced into a 1.4-acre fenced area of the four-acre meadow at Lea Wood, marking the start of an innovative grazing pilot.
