Project Description
Working for Natural England and the RSPB we work with farmers across North Kent advising on managing land receiving Higher Level Stewardship funding for breeding waders. Most farmers have worked hard to create features to attract birds onto their land but welcomed the opportunity to receive face to face advice in plain English to help understand what they needed to do to get the best out of their water management and grazing regimes.
It is early days for this project but the positive attitude of landowners and good partnership working should translate into more lapwings and redshanks breeding successfully this spring.
