"Helping farmers make the Yorkshire countryside the best quality farmed environment"
Our Farming and Wildlife Advisers, Phil Lyth, Ann Hanson, Claire Foster and Karen Stanley have a strong track record with over 43 years experience between them advising farmers and landowners across Yorkshire, giving sound practical advice, helping with paperwork and project design and implementation, and organising technical events.
Yorkshire Farming and Wildlife Partnership has been formed to carry on the work of the Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group (FWAG) in Yorkshire and is supporting a new farmer-led not for profit group - Yorkshire Conservation and Farming - which aims to share ideas and skills between farmers and others interested in sustainable rural living to further a high quality farmed environment, rich in wildlife.
