Farming & Land Use

National Landscapes teams work closely with farmers and landowners to coproduce outcomes for nature, climate, people and place. National Landscapes Partnerships implement the Farming in Protected Landscapes (FiPL) programme on behalf of Defra, supporting farmers and delivering projects like planting hedgerows (68 miles during 2022/23), improving habitat for nature, creating woodland, restoring drystone walling (2 miles in 2022/23) and creating new permissive paths (56 miles in 2022/23).
