(1/4) Our CEO Eliot Lyne met with South Norfolk MP Richard Bacon yesterday at Bedingham Hall Farm to demonstrate that it's possible to support wildlife AND run a successful farming business 💪 
(2/4) As part of our Claylands Wilder Connections project, Norfolk farmers like Louise Bond have been helping connect habitats for wildlife by planting hedgerows, restoring ponds & enhancing meadows on their land 🌱
(3/4) Eliot's visit follows Defra's update on the #ELMs scheme, which incentivises landowners to take action for nature.
The announcement is a step in the right direction, but we'll keep calling for even more support & will continue to provide guidance to Norfolk landowners 🤝

🚜 Abandoning #Elms
Elms presented a significant & vital opportunity to restore nature on agricultural land. Abandoning Elms will be a MAJOR setback in the government's manifesto commitment to leaving the environment in a better state for the next generation.

The @ciwem webinar on nature-based solutions and the ELMs scheme has begun! I'll live-tweet key points in this thread. #agriculture #elms
First of all, we're hearing from Gareth Morgan from the @SoilAssociation who is going to try discuss whether farming itself can be a nature-based solution #britishfarming
Gareth Morgan: There are lots of land-sparing options (margins/rewilding etc) whereby some areas cease farming whilst other areas are intensified. Gareth argues that this may sometimes be a slightly 'defeatist' approach and that farming should co-evolve with nature.
