Community Participation - People are our most important and effective ‘tools’ for looking after wildlife and the environment. We have made it our priority to involve and inspire people with the natural environment in an exciting and inclusive manner
Land Management - We provide advice about “good whole farm conservation management” through liaison with landholders to champion wildlife-friendly farming. We seek to develop close working relationships with farmers, to raise awareness of conservation incentive schemes and encourage landholders to enter into agri-environment, organic and woodland grant schemes.
Funding Partnership - Government acknowledges that the nature of environmental management is shifting towards a landscape-scale or ecosystems approach and the long term benefits provided by the natural world to surrounding communities and the economy as a whole. To achieve sustainable land management we need financial support. Funding of £200,000 a year will ensure development work and four full-time posts delivering the habitat management.
