Thank you for your interest in Farming in Protected Landscapes. Please note that as of August 2024, we are no longer encouraging new enquiries for FiPL grants, as the programme is now oversubscribed in Cranborne Chase National Landscape. We will update this page if more funds become available.
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.
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.
