Upper Adur Farmers Group

40 farmers in the Upper West Adur river catchment aiming to produce high-quality food in harmony with nature and to improve our soil health whilst doing so.

Great day out at Brighthams Farm, talking soil, carbon, diversity and productivity. Thanks @PhilNash2 and @SWFConsultant for fantastic morning.

So good to be out as a group again. Looking for birds at Daylands Farm. Nightingales, blackcaps and whitethroats a plenty, with cuckoos in the distance. Amazing hedgerows, coppicing and scrubby edges all contributing to the biodiversity bottom line. #farmingforwildlife

Great webinar on Biodiversity Net Gain with @EnvironmentBank. Understanding the future of payments for ecosystem services. #netgain #biodiversity #farmingforwildlife

Look what these farmers have created in a corner of their farm near Martin Down. A log pile giving shelter for invertebrates & #hedgehogs, a new barn owl box, a wild bird seed mix 🌻 and in the distance, a butterfly bank & pond!! Doing things their way, out of their own pockets👏

Maybe in this new decade, the sun will set on some of the old ways of doing things & we can move forward to a system where collaboration, reward, positivity and education are at the heart of conservation. Our world is what sustains us, let's look after it #WorldEnvironmentDay2020

REMINDER: NFU petition for food standards:
Do you want climate-friendly food that is produced by people you can trust in a way that cares for animals? Take action now and sign the petition to stop food imports produced to illegal standards. https://t.co/XalNCrqr5h

Storming stuff from @jamieoliver & @DailyMailUK on protecting our food standards 👏

An overwhelming majority of voters do not want to see 🇬🇧 agriculture sold down the river in future trade deals. Please take note @BorisJohnson @trussliz @JaneMHunt @ABridgen @CEN_HQ.

Stop the press! Because of the impact of #StormDennis and #StormCiara, the #BigFarmlandBirdCount has been extended to 23rd Feb so you’ve got one more week to help showcase the positive impact of farming on farmland birds

Our first event - Bird identification day led by @sussexskipper in preparation for the @GWCT Big Farm Bird Count. Shame about the weather... #toomuchrain #bfbc #farmingforwildlife #spacefornature #birdconservation
