In this film, farmers from the Aqualate Mere catchment share their experiences of taking part in Tests and Trials. This test created a land management plan and worked to set priorities for the catchment, incorporating biodiversity, water quality and carbon sequestration.
This is the first of a 2-part series on the work of Aqualate Castle Holdings in Tests and Trials. The findings from this test led to a second test focusing on building commercial agreements between private organisations and local farming communities. This will be explored in the second video.
A second round of funding for Landscape Recovery projects has been announced.
