Understanding the Wildlife on Your Farm

Ever wondered what butterflies, birds and plants live on your farm? Why they live on your farm? How you can create more habitat for them? Not sure how to fund any habitat works or how to enter Countryside Stewardship or how to manage your habitats?

Kirsty will offer an overview of how she helps farmers to look at their farms through the eyes of wildlife, help to identify opportunities to improve habitats whilst still working within your farming operations.
