Published on Leave a comment on Farming in Protected Landscapes Programme

This opens in July 2021 and through the programme farmers and land managers can be supported to carry out projects that:

  • support nature recovery
  • mitigate the impacts of climate change
  • provide opportunities for people to discover, enjoy and understand the landscape and cultural heritage
  • support nature-friendly, sustainable farm businesses

This is a programme of funding for one-off projects covering these areas of work, not an agri-environment scheme.

The programme is part of Defra's Agricultural Transition Plan.  It has been developed by Defra with the support of the AONB and National Park staff from across the country.

Published on Leave a comment on Cleaning up after your dog!

Unfortunately we have had many complaints about people not cleaning their dog's mess.  There seems to be a serial offender who leaves the mess along Church Lane near the junction of Hoath Hill, leaving the residents to clean this up.
This is really anti-social behaviour and affects all in Mountfield who take a real pride in their village.
Poo bags are cheap and most dog owners (including me) have a couple or three in their pockets and take the mess home to dispose of ourselves.
Please take note and keep Mountfield beautiful.
