The Lake District National Park’s Partnership recognises farming is facing a period of unprecedented change. It is seeking to engage with farmers and land managers to inform the development of its Management Plan and get input into a bid to the National Lottery Heritage Fund’s “Heritage Horizons” programme.
Over the next month, farming organisations will be contacting farmers for their views about the future of the Lake District National Park and to understand what support they need to access funding opportunities and to develop projects.
Farmers are invited to attend on-line meetings being held on Thursday 7th January, Monday 11th January and Thursday 14th January. All meetings start at 7.30pm with the event on 11th January specifically aimed at those farming common land.
There will also be the opportunity to submit views using an on-line survey and farming organisations will be conducting individual telephone interviews. All farmers who participate will be entitled to enter a prize draw for a £50 voucher of their choice.
The event will be held on zoom, please register here and joining details will be sent out 24 hours before the event.
