Sustainable Land Management Workshops
A series of free workshops for farmers and other land managers in Somerset, North Somerset and beyond. Each event will focus on developing understanding of sustainable land management topics such as Natural Capital, water management, soil health and herbal leys, as well as the technologies, funding and support available to achieve your farm business goals sustainably. Each session will include time for discussion and the opportunity to ask questions, as well as to share your ideas and experience.
The events are free but booking is essential. You can book onto as many (or few) as you like, but please note that the booking details vary for each event, as outlined below.
