Excited to share some recent pictures from #Fibra – one of many projects supported in the Cotswolds Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Farming in Protected Landscapes grants programme. Fibra works with farms to grow and process hemp, ready for its use in a range of innovative material applications from construction and clothing to healthcare and horticulture. Their FiPL grant supported the purchase of specialist equipment used to process the hemp grown in the Cotswolds. 📷 Russell Sach #UKFarming #agriculture #AgriculturalTransition #ClimateFriendly #HealthySoil #FiPLFriday #FiPL #cotswolds

Working to conserve and enhance the natural beauty of the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
About us
The Cotswolds National Landscape has been a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) since 1966 in recognition of its rich, diverse and high quality landscape. It is the largest of 38 AONBs in England and Wales, and one of largest protected landscape in England after the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales. Covering 790 sq miles, the Cotswolds stretches from the City of Bath and Wiltshire in the south through Gloucestershire and Oxfordshire to Warwickshire and Worcestershire in the north. The Cotswolds National Landscape is looked after by the Cotswolds Conservation Board, an independent statutory body that works to conserve and enhance the natural beauty of the Cotswolds AONB, to increase understanding and enjoyment of its special qualities, and to foster the social and economic well-being of local communities. It was established by Parliamentary Order in 2004 and is one of only two Conservation Boards in the country, the other being the Chilterns. It has 37 members drawn from local authorities, parish councils and communities across the Cotswolds, a staff team of 15 based in Northleach, Gloucestershire and 300+ voluntary wardens throughout the AONB.

Taking the opportunity today to celebrate the work of Farms Director Nick Bumford and his team at Guiting Manor Farm in the Cheltenham. They use a whole-farm approach, providing a mosaic of diverse habitats to encourage bird life, greater biodiversity, and sustainability – without sacrificing the bottom line. The farm was supported by Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs’s Farming in Protected Landscapes grants programme to create shelterbelts which complement hedgerow creation, crop combinations, and woodland management. 📷 Russell Sach #UKFarming #agriculture #AgriculturalTransition #ClimateFriendly #NatureFriendly #FiPLFriday #FiPL #cotswolds #HabitatCreation

A big welcome to Maria Carter and Ellie Robinson, our most recent additions to the Farming in Protected Landscapes (FiPL) team! They will be supporting programme administration as FiPL comes to close in 2025.

I'm really pleased to have been appointed by Cherwell District Council to represent the Council on the Cotswolds National Landscape Board. I have a lot of very fond memories working for the Board and now can't wait to get started as a Board Member. https://lnkd.in/ewJ3NRtm

In June and July the Everyone’s Evenlode team have delivered Geography and Science field trips to over 500 students from Cherwell and Burford Schools. On Friday, the team were delivering a mixture of science (pond dipping/ life cycles) and geography (rivers) topics at Coombe Mill, Oxfordshire. While we were setting up, we spotted this female Southern Hawker Dragonfly that had just emerged from its nymph case. Often spending several years at nymph stage in the pond, dragonflies then emerge and live as adults for only a few weeks. The students were able to study the nymph case under a magnifying glass and see why the dragonfly gets its name!
