Launched by Defra in 2021, to date the Farming in Protected Landscapes (FiPL) programme has awarded over £1.1 million to farmers and land managers in Cranborne Chase National Landscape. With the successful programme extended until March 2025, now is the perfect time to apply for FiPL funding.
FiPL funding is for farmers and land managers carrying out one-off projects that support at least one of the following:
- Nature recovery
- Mitigate the impacts of climate change
- Provide opportunities for people to discover, enjoy and understand the landscape and cultural heritage
- Support nature-friendly, sustainable farm businesses
Your project must also help to deliver at least one of the objectives of the Cranborne Chase National Landscape Management Plan.
The programme is open to all farmers and land managers (including from the private, public and charity sector) in Cranborne Chase National Landscape, or where activity can benefit the National Landscape, and runs until March 2025.
The FiPL Programme in Cranborne Chase National Landscape is open for applications…
- You can submit applications at any time between now and January 2025. Get in touch with the team for a chat to discuss and progress your project ideas.
