For local businesses
A Forgotten Landscape offers lots of opportunities for local businesses to get involved. We have volunteering opportunities such as wildlife monitoring that can be used as part of team building.

We will also be hosting many events and festivals that will be an opportunity to promote local businesses, particularly local food businesses.

For farmers and landowners, we have specific programmes to improve habitats and revive traditional practices, including a grant scheme to restore the traditional practices of willow pollarding and hedgerow laying.
