Farming in Protected Landscapes Programme

The programme will fund projects that:

• Support nature recovery
• Mitigate the impacts of climate change
• Provide opportunities for people to discover, enjoy and understand the landscape and its cultural heritage
• Support nature-friendly, sustainable farm businesses

If you won’t make commercial gain from the project, you could get up to 100% of the costs – otherwise, a proportion of the costs. You can be in other schemes but won’t be paid twice for the same work. If your project is the same as a Countryside Stewardship (CS) activity, you will be paid the same as the CS rate. e.g. fencing. If not, you’ll be offered funding on the estimated costs. Projects under £5K will normally be assessed by a senior AONB officer. Projects over £5K will go to a local panel which
will meet once every 6-8 weeks. For further information please look at the document attached and to make an enquiry click the link here:
