SHARING A LOVE OF NATURE Habitat First Group is a development company, led by Red, Ruby and Rory Paxton, founded on the principle of creating holiday home communities that share a deep love of nature and a passion for exploring the great outdoors. The family-run business launched Lower Mill Estate in the Cotswolds two decades ago, with Silverlake following more recently. In Devon, Birchwood now continues the legacy of combining excellence in architecture, interior design, state-of-the-art facilities, security and service.

VISION – SUSTAINABILITY
PROTECTING AND ENHANCING THE WILD LIFE A belief in ethical integrity underpins all our operations. By their very nature, our modern developments avoid the issue of turning rural villages into ghost towns mid-week, whilst still generating local income and jobs. We regenerate our development sites, creating habitats for wildlife as much as for people, with recognition for excellence by The Wildlife Trust.

ECOLOGY PROJECTS
58
PROTECTING AND ENHANCING THE WILD LIFE Silverlake is packed with uniquely special habitats, which attract migrating species as well as encouraging rare native plants and animals to proliferate and thrive. Habitat First Group’s dedicated ecologist is in charge of re-wilding the estates and enhancing hundreds of wildlife species in perpetuity. A sand face draws sand martins arriving from Africa each year, which join nightjars, peregrines, kingfishers, barn owls and more in feeding and breeding on the site. Dormice nest in the dense scrub until the time comes to head back underground to hibernate. Brown long-eared bats dart around at night and keen eyes may spot the odd otter in the waterways.
