A rather rainy start but another leaky dam installation, this time in the #riverkent catchment. Thanks to volunteers, SCRT staff and the landowner for helping build these #slowtheflow features. More river restoration work happening - watch this space! #naturalfloodmanagement

Another day, another 45 farmers coming to look at the mad nature-friendly shit we do

Love it - because it’s challenge and testing, and questions - and if it’s BS it won’t convince anyone

Thanks to @PastureForLife group for coming - great discussions

Stole this pic from David on the course… but nicely shows how one little farm in the Lake District can be a place of learning or discussion for a heap of other farms

Farming is changing and we are all trying to work it out and figure out how do agro-ecological things well
