Environmental scheme gets green light.


On Wednesday we had a meeting with our Natural England advisor and as a result we have clarified the problem issues so now will be able to proceed with our programme of work to improve the wildlife environment on the land we farm.

The fact that we farm the land organically , are in an upland area and have a higher level stewardship scheme means that to co-ordinate the demands of all three schemes has required some very specialised advice.

It will be good to actually start the practical part of the project. We shall soon be planting the plots of wild bird seeds give lots of winter feed.

Meanwhile, down on the farm these are our new arrivals.
