Haye Farm and Natural England's Higher Level Stewardship scheme - public drop-in event

View over Haye Farm 'mash'

Friday 22nd 2011 July will see a public drop-in event at the Parish Hall in which members of the parish will be able to see and ask questions on what is proposed for Haye Marsh under Natural England's Higher Level Stewardship scheme. 

The Parish Council and SODITT are urging as many parishioners as possible to attend and give their views following the huge support in parish in recent times in the campaign to protect this precious area. The Parish Council will be attending the event en masse at 6.30pm as there is a concern over the future of Haye Marsh.

Natural England's Higher Level Stewardship is a 10 year land management programme where that programme of management must meet at least one of eight themes such as securing the recovery of nationally important species of native species or reversing the decline of farmyard birds. Farmers can apply to join in order to receive funding to help achieve these themes.
