NATURAL ENGLAND LAUNCHES
FUTURE OF FARMING AWARDS 2009
Farmers and farm managers across England are invited to enter Natural England’s
2009 Future of Farming Awards. The award scheme, which opened earlier this year,
recognises and celebrates farmers in England who have integrated wildlife,
landscape and access management with more sustainable farming production on
their farms.
The inventor of a revolutionary new way of collecting and sowing wild seeds to
help restore medieval hay meadows in Sussex was the 2007 Future of Farming
Award winner. Keith Datchler of the Beech Estate, near Battle, East Sussex won
the award for his work for both running a successful farm business and for
protecting a precious yet threatened habitat that supports a rich mix of native
wildlife, including wildflowers, butterflies and other rare insects.
