Public BenefitsPUBLIC BENEFITS of HEDGEROWS
FundingHEDGE FUNDS Many different pockets of money are being made available to help with nature recovery: Farming in Protected Landscapes, the Environmental Land Management Scheme and Farming for Net Zero are examples. These grants acknowledge the key role farmers and landowners play in the stewardship of the land and provision of environmental services. They also acknowledge the financial impact of trying to reduce and recover from the negative aspects of past farming practices and help improve current practices. Accessing grants is complex and, although some grants enable the employment of contractors, many require the support of volunteers to help identify potential projects and support the land owners in implementing them. |
