Educational Access

The Countryside Stewardship and Environmental Stewardship Schemes aim to protect and improve the countryside. Educational Access is part of these schemes and provides opportunities for schools, and colleges, clubs, youth groups, adult study centres and others to visit farms for the purpose of study or for general interest. The facilities available will vary. Some provide opportunities to see livestock or farming in action, others interesting wildlife habitats or historic features.
