Clients interested in a Countryside Stewardship Wildlife Offer or Mid Tier agreement, to start in 2021, are reminded to apply by midnight on 31st July 2020. This is only possible if you have downloaded an application pack by the deadline of 30th June.
The same deadline of 31st July also applies to applications for the Glastir Woodland Creation Grant, for clients with land in Wales. See https://gov.wales/glastir-application-dates for more information on Glastier application deadlines.
Countryside Stewardship Mid Tier offers applicants the chance to build an agreement from a wide range of options and capital items, from hedge planting to nectar flower mixes.
The scheme will be running for another 4 years, with the 2021 application window due to open in March, and pilot schemes for the new ELMS (Environmental Land Management Scheme) beginning later in 2021.
For more advice and guidance on the schemes available to you, please contact our office on 01981590514.
