On Tuesday 21st January we held our Winter Webinar which gave an update on the government’s Environmental Land Management scheme (ELMs). Rory Johnson kicked things off with a deep dive into the new, endorsed, Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) action GRH6 – Manage priority habitat species-rich grassland. After discussing the actions aims, Rory then went on to explain how the action requirements differ depending on whether the field parcel is endorsed for management, restoration or creation and some top tips to think about when applying. Caroline Hanks then followed with an overview of the new Countryside Stewardship Higher Tier (CSHT) which has just been opened on an invite only basis. CSHT is aimed at environmental and historically important sites where land managers aspire to do something new and different that’s not available in SFI. You can watch the full webinar again here, including the Q&A session.
