2020 Award Winner Farmers
Jan 29, 2021
A large proportion of land in the Biosphere is farmland so we always love to hear of farmers and landowners who are making space for nature. This could include installing a barn owl or kestrel nest box, letting your hedges grow to be big and bushy, planting trees, looking after your soil health or creating a small pond. Photo: Herbal ley

It's been a tricky year for community groups to be able to meet and work together on conservation and nature related activities. Whether it was before March or working in small groups throughout the summer it was great to hear about these brilliant people coming together to help nature. Photo: DWT Group pond construction
