Environment
The Windsor Estate is a unique environment with a 1,000-year history. Learn about our conservation work, our long-term forestry plan, and our commitment to modern sustainable practices.
Conservation & Stewardship
The Windsor Estate is home to a vast array of flora and fauna. The long-term stewardship of its habitats and wildlife – by The Crown Estate – has made the Estate an internationally recognised example of biodiversity, sustainability and conservation.
Windsor Farms
The Windsor Farms operate as a mixed farming model that involves both crop and animal farming. Originally managed by The Royal Farms, Windsor Farms transferred to the ownership and management of The Crown Estate in March 2024.
Forestry
Forest management is a long-term cycle of planting, thinning and felling trees that can rotate for decades, if not centuries. We balance this with a long-term plan that guides our decisions on timber harvesting, biodiversity and wildlife habitats.
Sustainability
The Estate has been practicing sustainable land use for hundreds of years. As part of The Crown Estate, we recognise the climate emergency and are committed to becoming net zero by 2030.
