Last week Defra released details of the new CSHT scheme and you can review the 132 management actions and 151 capital items in CSHT. The scheme is opening initially through a controlled rollout of invited land managers with plans for CSHT to be fully open for applicants later in 2025. All the details are in the link above / below including the new actions for Floodplain Meadows and Species-rich grassland which confusingly has the code CGS22 which is different from the code GRH6 for species rich grassland in SFI.
The first DEFRA webinar about CSHT is on January 8th – Book you place HERE. There will surely be more webinars in future from different organisations. We will be supporting and learning from schemes worked up with NE by invited HM members during the initial roll out, and gain experience that we can share in time for the full opening of the scheme later in 2025
