Making a Difference

The first phase of this project is complete and we are proud to say that we met the ambitious targets set. We did this by providing:

• Advice on grassland management and grant availability through Environmental Stewardship
• Volunteers and contractors to clear scrub, erect fences, and install water supplies to facilitate conservation management
• A service to match graziers with grassland sites in need of grazing
• Expertise, advice and assistance in enhancing grassland sites for biodiversity
• ‘Added value' by linking producers with the ‘Direct from Dorset' accreditation scheme, and establishing a conservation grade meat scheme
