Sporting & Fishing
​​At The Sewell Hammonds Estate, our legacy in sporting traditions goes hand in hand with a deep responsibility toward the land, wildlife, and natural habitats under our care. Stewardship is at the heart of everything we do—shaping our approach to game management, habitat conservation, and the sustainable use of resources.
Responsible Game Management
​
Our approach to game management is rooted in a dedication to maintaining balanced ecosystems. Through carefully regulated practices, we ensure that wildlife populations thrive without disrupting the biodiversity of the estate. Our gamekeepers work year-round to monitor animal health and manage habitats, from providing essential food sources to creating safe breeding grounds. Every decision is made with the understanding that hunting and conservation can support one another when approached with respect and responsibility.

Habitat Conservation and Restoration
​
The landscapes of The Sewell Hammonds Estate are cared for with meticulous attention to preservation and restoration. We dedicate resources to the upkeep of woodlands, wetlands, and meadows that support a variety of species and maintain the ecological integrity of the estate. From replanting native trees to maintaining water quality in our lakes and rivers, we prioritize the health of these habitats, recognizing that sustainable sporting is only possible within a thriving ecosystem.

Fishing Waters Management
​​
Our lakes and riverbanks are managed to support a balanced aquatic environment, ensuring a healthy population of fish while preserving the broader ecosystem. Stocking practices are approached with a light touch, only when necessary to preserve species diversity without causing ecological disruption. By monitoring water quality and aquatic life closely, we aim to create a harmonious environment that fosters both species protection and sustainability.
