High Weald Farmer Event Programme 2022
We are running an exciting programme of events for farmers and land managers in the High Weald AONB, providing inspiration and guidance for projects that could be funded by the Farming in Protected Landscapes grant programme.
The event programme covers a broad range of practical topics from mob grazing to monitoring soil health, incorporating both ‘in-person’ events at farms across the AONB and webinars.
