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.

Somerset Wetland Programme
Our aim is to protect, restore
and expand important wetland habitats in North Somerset and to ensure
that wildlife here can flourish.
To achieve this we are:
- Undertaking ecological surveys and
monitoring projects for important wetland plants and invertebrates in ditches and surrounding habitats.
- Providing advice and assistance to landowners on
the management and restoration of wetland habitats.
- Facilitating landowner entry into
agri-environment schemes.
- Increase awareness and understanding of the management needs of coastal and low lying grazing marsh within the farming and local community.
- Working closely with landowners, internal
drainage boards and others to achieve the best water
level management regime for wildlife without compromising
flood risk management.
