ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP 2007

       ENTRY LEVEL SCHEME

The DEFRA solutions for the improvement of natural beauty and diversification of habitat within the countryside are contained within the provisions of the Countyside Stewardship Scheme. This provides farmers and land managers with the opportunity to improve the countryside and be compensated for the potential loss of productive land taken from the food supply chain.

The objectives of the scheme are to sustain and diversify the landscape, improve and extend wildlife habitats, conserve archaeological sites and historic features, improve enjoyment of the countryside, restore neglected land or features and create new habitats and landscapes.

With these objectives in mind we can offer a number of standard mixtures which will cover some of the more common requirements contained within the parameters of the scheme.
