Action plan details - Biodiversity Action Plan for Gloucestershire

  

HAP Cereal Field Margins
Plan status: Implementation underway

Vision statement
To quantify and classify Gloucestershire's biodiversity-rich cereal field margins.
To maintain and restore by management the biodiversity of 600ha of cereal field margins.
To raise awareness of the importance of farmland biodiversity.

Targets
