In the Shropshire Hills AONB, over £700,000 is available to distribute this financial year to projects linked to farming that can demonstrate benefits to climate, nature, people and place.
The programme is open to farmers and land managers (including from the private, public and charity sector) with land within the Shropshire Hills AONB.
