11 April, 2023 - 12:00 pm to 2:30 pm

Countryside Stewardship pays farmers for the environmental work they do alongside food production, with options that include restoring wildlife habitats, creating or managing woodlands, and mitigating flood risks. With updated payments rates, an expanded offer of options, and a simplified annual declaration of compliance, CS should be considered by all farmers looking to build a profitable farm business.

The workshop will cover:

  • General Scheme requirements and key dates
  • Management options available and how they can provide an annual revenue
  • Capital grants available
  • How to get Catchment Sensitive Farming approval for farmyard capital grants
  • How Countryside Stewardship interacts with the Sustainable Farming Incentive
  • Which options would work for your farm.
