  • Provide advice and support for the establishment of more specific habitats such as meadows, new woodlands, traditional orchards and wetland mosaics, and potential improvements to public access & engagement.
  • Utilise farm carbon audits and soil health reports in conjunction with the integrated farm plans, to identify and ensure a synergised approach to future farming and natural capital management.
  • Ensure farm plans can work alongside management plans for the Dartmoor Commons they have grazing rights on.
  • Assist with coordination of plans between neighbouring farms, and consultation on the proposals.
  • Identify existing sources of funding that could help fund changes and identify potential additional work for inclusion in our Landscape Recovery Plan.

The farms in the existing project area have integrated environmental plans which the successful applicant will review and enhance as needed working in conjunction with the Duchy of Cornwall and its Future Farming team to ensure that participating members have a clear vision and plan to move forward with during the delivery phase.
