“It means we are local people at ground level helping out local farmers and landowners with funding for projects that they apply for and will enhance four main areas – either nature, people, climate or place.
“One example of funding made by a FIPL project has been where a farmer has used it to divide his farm up into new paddocks. You can get some grants already, under other stewardship schemes, for certain elements of doing this, either with electric fencing or reinstatement of historical boundaries or new boundaries, so that has been funded under what can’t currently be funded under a stewardship capital grant.
Matthew said he sees the funding possibilities as wide ranging and that he is delighted to have such innovative farmers as Andrew Hattan involved and hosting the first of the coming weeks’ events, in Middlesmoor. Matthew understands that every project takes time from initial concept to seeing it in action and that often new ideas flounder at an early stage because they have an initial cost to bear that the farmer can often see as stymying their idea at birth.
He added: “Projects can often require permissions from other authorities too, so the quicker we know what a project may be, the quicker we can assist and look at helping with what is necessary.”
