We are a local farmer group, seeking to foster collaboration and encourage regenerative practices

Are you feeling lost in the complex funding landscape, and do you want to find out how to navigate the new Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) and the existing Countryside Stewardship scheme?

This group is facilitated by the Farming and Wildlife Group South West, and currently funded through the governments Countryside Stewardship Facilitation Fund scheme (CSFF), which is running from June 2023 - May 2026. Our lead facilitator, Sarah Wells, brings a decades worth of experience working with farmers in Gloucestershire, as well as 4 years as a facilitator.
