Farmers' & Shepherds' Focus Groups
These discussion groups will aim at identifying and reviewing best management practices in extensive hill systems.
Different locations across Britain to get the widest coverage of extensive hill systems:
- Mid-Wales
- Scottish Highlands
- Derbyshire
- Lake District
This part of the project is run by SAC and ADAS.
Peak District
The Derbyshire Focus Group is centred on the Hope Valley in the High Peak area with 15 to 20 participating farmers predominantly located in the valleys radiating out from there.
Lake District
The Cumbria Focus Group is centred on the Keswick area with 15 participating farmers predominantly located in the valleys radiating out from there.
