AN aristocrat’s North York Moors estate has unveiled a plan to transform more of its working farmland and woodlands into wetland habitats with the sole purpose of improving biodiversity and wildlife connectivity in the national park. The Mulgrave Estate, which has been the Marquis of Normanby’s family seat since the 18th century, has lodged a planning application to create a brighter future for birds, species such as dragonflies and damselflies, and many other creatures by creating conservation ponds on part of its 15,000-acre estate at Lythe, near Whitby. In documents submitted to the North York Moors National Park Authority, the estate highlights how Sir John Lawton’s review of England’s wildlife sites and ecological network in 2010 identified the country’s wildlife habitats do not represent a coherent and resilient ecological network.
