East Stoke
The FBA site at East Stoke comprises laboratories, offices, conference rooms and a specialist library.
The estate includes around 3 ha of wet meadow and pasture, and 5 ha of fen and carr woodland, the latter leased to the Dorset Wildlife Trust and managed as a nature reserve. There is unrestricted access to 5 km of the River Frome adjacent to the East Stoke site, including fishing rights.
The main laboratory building contains nine laboratories and associated office facilities. Two laboratories are currently managed directly by the FBA and the remainder are leased on termed contracts to the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (CEH), Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) and the Environment Agency.
