Uplands ELS is a new strand of Environmental Stewardship, designed specifically for upland farmers. It combines existing Entry Level Stewardship (ELS) with a new uplands strand. Unlike the HFA - which excluded dairy farmers and those with very small holdings - Uplands ELS will be open to all farmers and land managers in England's ‘Severely Disadvantaged Areas' (SDAs), providing they meet the rules.

Keep meaning to apply for Entry Level Stewardship (ELS) but not done it yet? Changes to the scheme are proposed. Why not get in now before they are implemented and recoup some of your modulated funds? Let FWAG help you with the Entry Level Stewardship scheme.
Environmental Health Check (EHC): Feedback from farmers undertaking the EHC highlights the value of the service to their business. Regardless of scale of operation and whether they are arable, livestock or mixed famers the message is that the comfort provided by the review of cross-compliance and other environmental legislation issues by an experienced FWAG adviser is invaluable.
