Managing Set-aside Land for Wildlife

Résumé du livre

Whether you are raising sheep or stone curlews, growing cereals or lowland heath - managing farmland for wildlife involves the same process of farm management as agricultural production. The quality of Britain's rural environment has great potential for improvement through the set-aside scheme, but only if managed appropriately. This reference guide has been written specifically to help farmers and their advisors to manage set-aside land for wildlife. It should also be of interest to all those concerned with wildlife management and habitat restoration in general. The guide covers a range of management options for rotational set-aside, non-rotational set-aside, and longer-term habitat restoration.
