Farming in Protected Landscapes
The FiPL Grant programme now has a rolling application window. This means that the previously announced deadline for applications of 31st January 2022 no longer applies.
This programme is only available to those farming in the Kent Downs or High Weald AONB or the South Downs National Park. It will fund projects around four key themes:
- Climate
- Nature
- People
- Place
Example projects include:
- adopting regenerative farming techniques
- installing rainwater harvesting equipment
- enhancing on-farm carbon storage
- planting hedges to reinstate lost boundaries
- conserving and enhancing historic features
- cutting to restore overstood coppice
- purchasing equipment to prevent soil compaction or help with wildflower grassland management
- completing ecological or soil surveys to inform environmental management
- creating corridors to connect habitats
- developing uses and markets for farm products
- setting up agroforestry
- purchasing off-grid infrastructure for temporary campsites
If you have a project in mind which you think may be eligible for the programme but would like assistance in making an application, please contact a member of the team.
