Project summary

Edit project overview to modify the project summary.

Water Friendly Farming Project is a multi-partner national demonstration conceived by Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust and Pond Conservation. It seeks to deliver catchment scale benefits to the rural water environment, together with new information about the practical effectiveness of the measures employed in the predominantly agricultural landscape. The project focuses on three 10 km2 upper catchments, and employs a Control, Impact, Before, After (BACI) approach, where two of the three catchments will receive mitigation measures, the third will act as a control.
