Traditional dry stone walling.

Before and 184 hours and 45 minutes later.

The wall is A shaped, just over a metre wide at the bottom and about 60cm wide across the top, retaining an orthostatic at the base.

Part funded by the Farming in Protected Landscapes scheme.

Janet Hughes RPA Well it's not a massive scheme, some of it is land not in CS & some is adding to CS but it was easy to apply and actually quite enjoyable! I'm Looking forward to funding a proper soil survey of the farm, we always do on a random basis but now I can get stuck in with confidence

Andrea Meanwell Janet Hughes Nature Friendly Farming Network Thanks to you & the team for answering all our questions. Lots of interesting actions are forthcoming. Lots of thought has gone into them which leads me to be very optimistic about applying them once my pilot is over ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

A brilliant call this evening with some of our SFI pilot pioneers from Nature Friendly Farming Network - great to have the chance to talk in a small group.
Particularly chuffed to hear pilot farmers telling us they can see how we've listened and learned from the pilot in the design and delivery of theโ€ฆ
