The aim of this charity is to create an environment that combines caring for retired rescue horses and other animals with nature conservation.
ARC’s aim is to assist horses and other animals, that have reached the end of their working life and need to retire in a safe and caring home which provides, not only for their physical needs, but also for their emotional well-being. We do not look to rehome any of the animals that join our ‘family’, they come to us in need of a quiet retirement.

NATURE CONSERVATION
What we do …
For the past 6 years Ash Rescue Centre’s aim has been to turn previously farmed arable land into a wildlife conservation site. We have been doing this in many ways such as… digging ponds, planting hedges, planting trees, sowing native grass and meadow mixes, putting 10 acres into a birdseed mix for overwintering birds and invertebrates, planting and sowing many wildflower plugs and seeds, keeping on top of invasive species, not over- grazing and creating specific habitats and homes for some of our rarer residents like Barn Owl boxes, Dormouse nest and Bat roosts.

What nature does …
By creating this wildlife site we have seen a huge increase in the amount of insects and birds living on the land. With just a little bit of help from us the wildlife is now not only surviving but increasing and thriving. Birds like Cirl Buntings, Skylarks, Goldcrests, Bullfinches, Barn owls and Woodcock now visit or live on the farm. We have a small Deer herd, Foxes, Badgers, Stoats, Hares and a visiting Otter.
