Valuing the Cultural Farmed Landscape

Valuing the Cultural Farmed Landscape

The project is designed to demonstrate the diverse cultural heritage of Lake District farms in terms of tangible structures and intangible processes. It provides ideas for farmers and communities to consider in terms of diversification in line with the new Government agenda of public goods.  

This booklet specifically explains the value of farmed cultural landscapes for nature recovery and climate action and ideas for farmers to adopt.

Other outputs will include a community project and a voiced-over powerpoint presentation.
