Farming Support
We are delighted to
announce the launch of
a new programme to
support farmers and land
managers in the AONB
(Areas of outstanding
natural beauty). There will
be around £500,000 to
support these projects
until the end of March
2022 although we expect
the scheme to continue
until March 2024 with government support. The focus of the programme is to
 Support nature recovery
 Mitigate the impacts of climate change

 Provide opportunity=ties for people to discover, enjoy and understand the
landscape and its cultural heritage
 Support nature friendly, sustainable farm business
The Dorset AONB team will be managing the programme locally and more details
are on the website or contact us direct.
