Land management queries

It's brilliant that more people want to make a difference.  We want to support people as much as we can but our resources are limited so please be patient with us. We will always aim to offer you a personal response via email or phone, but as a small team we cannot provide a site visit for everyone. Please be aware that services such as site visits and surveys may incur a charge. Please fill in the below form. 

Important information

We receive a large number of larger scale land management queries from private landowners, farmers community groups, local and parish councils and landowning businesses who are looking for advice on a wide range of land management topics.

The first step to giving you the right advice from the right person in our team is to ask you to submit an enquiry form below. We cannot progress any queries until this has happened. Once complete, we aim to respond to all enquiries within 2 weeks of submission.

I understand that it may take up to 2 weeks to receive a response.

Nature recovery networks

Everyone can play a part in achieving nature's recovery and make a contribution to a nature recovery network across the country. One that connects, restores, and protects our wild spaces, provides homes for wildlife and routes upon which they can safely travel and expand their populations into the future.  Everything from nature reserves, sites of special scientific interest, agricultural land, business parks, community or school green spaces, meadows and ponds, as well as our gardens at home and micro green spaces such as window boxes and pots are all vital.

Gardens and green spaces at home

We have a range of resources that offer ideas and inspiration for you to wild your home patch (gardens and smaller grassland areas), and you can explore those here:
