What we do
We help farmers and landowners adapt to the new environmental approach towards farming systems. As farm support payments shift towards Environmental Land Management schemes (ELMs), we design practical, fundable projects that improve the environment, strengthen farm business resilience, and benefit local communities. Our work is simple, grounded, and tailored to place.
Because we work at a catchment scale, the changes we support ripple out, protecting the landscape by improving soil, water, biodiversity and flood resilience and helping the valley stand firm in the face of mounting environmental change.
Natural Flood Management
Slowing the flow with natural solutions that protect farms and communities.
Hedgerows and Wood Pasture
Bringing back trees and hedges to boost farms, wildlife and income.
Environmental Land Management (ELM)
Helping farmers turn new policies into practical opportunities.
Habitat Creation
Restoring habitats that work for farms, wildlife and the bottom line.
