Farmer Group
THE FOREST OF Bowland Farmer Group has been granted another year of funding to enable it to continue to run until the end of March 2025. The group provides the Forest of Bowland National Landscape team (formerly the AONB) with the chance to stay in contact with farmers, offering support during the agricultural transition, and helping them prepare for the changes happening in the industry. This is done through regular email updates and newsletters containing relevant farming news, local training opportunities, available grants and funding etc, hosting regular in-person meetings discussing farming topics, and putting farmers in contact with people who can help locally. Farmers within the Forest of Bowland National Landscape can join the group for free by emailing nichola.gill@lncashire.gov.uk or visiting the website.
