Rspb, wetland, National and other trusts, massive estates, as they would do much of it anyway but will now get £££££££ from the higher tiers of ELMSI liked this comment mind...
"Encouragingly, most of the Breckland group members said that this mapping tool was useful for them, and they were more likely to engage with coordinated landscape-scale conservation as a result of this test and trial. However, maps alone are only part of the solution.
For many of them, the crucial detail is the payment rates they will get for delivering options in schemes like this.
On some farms, if those payments aren't competitive, the conservation work is unlikely to go ahead. This would prevent our blueprint from turning into a reality. "
I would hazard that the above should read All Farms and Most of them?
I guess the Million Pound question, is who has pushed for the Higher Tier elements of ELMS, and why?
