Norfolk Farm Management. Stewardship

We have a team dedicated to Mid Tier and Higher Level Stewarship schemes.

Andrew Alston has BASIS qualification in Soil & Water Management and is therefore well placed to help on environmental enhancement and resource protection. We are fully aware of all aspects of the Water Framework Directive and can advise farmers on water quality issues arising from their farming practices.

Water Framework Directive

Farmers groups are begining to form with the aim of these groups taking responsibility for the water quality in their local river, steam or watercourse. Examples are the "Stiffkey Farmers for a Sustainable Chalk River" and the "Spixworth Beck Abstractors". We have completed a project looking at cuts in abstraction licences for farmers in the Wensum catchment.
