Living Landscape

Our vision is a profitable countryside, enriched with wildflower meadows, interconnected wetlands and well managed woodlands, where wildlife  flourishes for everyone.

We are working to achieve this vision by engaging with local landowners to restore and manage their wildlife-rich landscapes,  join up fragmented habitats, and  so create a robust and sustainable countryside that will help people and wildlife to adapt to climate change.

See below for our current Living Landscape projects.

Avon's Wildflower Grasslands Project

Our aim is to protect our remaining wildflower-rich grasslands and identify ways to expand and reconnect these vital habitats throughout the countryside.

To achieve this we are:

  • surveying fields to identify our best remaining wildflower grasslands
  • providing advice to landowners on wildflower grassland management 
  • assisting with grant applications for agri-environment schemes
  • providing practical help to restore wildflower grasslands
  • helping to fund restoration work where possible.

Our aim is to protect and restore important wetland habitats in North Somerset and to ensure that wetland wildlife can flourish.

To achieve this we are:

  • Facilitating landowner entry into agri-environment schemes.
  • Working closely with landowners, internal drainage boards and others to achieve the best water level management regime for wildlife without compromising flood risk management.
  • Undertaking ecological survey and monitoring projects for important wetland species such as water vole and otter.
