Agri-environment workshop for farmers and land managers
You are invited to attend a free online workshop to find out more about the changes to agri-environment schemes that are happening over the next few years. The workshop will be run 3 times – to book your place, click the button below to register. The programme is the same for each, but we’ll have different farmers speaking at each session.
We look forward to seeing you at a workshop soon - please note the following.
- You only need to attend one of the three workshops.
- The workshop will be held on Zoom, so reasonable internet access is required.
- Feel free to tell your farming friends and neighbours so they can register as well.

Thank you for your interest in Thursday’s workshop. A key aim of the session is to provide information on the new Farming in Protected Landscapes programme, and we understand that Defra will be releasing more information in the first half of March.
To give you an update on both the Countryside Stewardship Scheme and Farming in Protected Landscapes (and avoid you having to attend two sessions) we therefore need to cancel the workshop on the 4th March.
Please book onto the session on 23rd March instead (click the 'register here' button below).
