We can discuss the pros and cons of each option, scheme and funding stream with you before making any commitment, highlighting useful opportunities and income.
Please contact us for a discussion about your plans.
-
New agreement applications - we can guide you through the current options, rules and regulations, and identify opportunities for public and private funding that we feel would fit you and your farm, and even complete all the necessary paperwork to submit the application on your behalf.
-
An annual ‘health check’ on your agreement – an annual visit to check prescriptions are being adhered to and to make sure the options are working for you. Advice on any problem areas.
-
A complete agreement audit – an ‘inspection’ of your agreement, measuring lengths, widths and areas with hand-held GPS and checking management of the habitat options is in accordance with the prescriptions. As detailed as an RPA inspection but without any fines!
-
A complete management package for new agreements – a quarterly visit during the first two years of the agreement to include GPS marking out of areas, ensuring all habitats are correct by end of year 2. Annual visit thereafter with the option to include a GPS audit as an add-on.
-
Management Plans and Ecological Surveys – surveys and plans to aid habitat management across archaeological sites, heathlands, within scrub and woodland areas, including Felling License applications.
-
Digital Estate/Farm Mapping – ensuring all of your options are marked up so nothing is missed, and the ability to print of large-scale wall maps, or to link you to our mapping software directly.
-
Agri-environment capital grants - there may be capital grants available towards a project you have in mind. We can help you explore all available options.
