DEFRA have reopened their consultation process on the new Environmental Land management schemes which are designed to replace the existing environmental stewardship schemes over the next few years as a central part of the new agriculture bill.

The consultation will be available until Friday 31st July.

We would really encourage you to make your views known!  The more the government hears from the public the better!
