Environmental Stewardship

Environmental Stewardship - which encompasses ELS (Entry Level Stewardship), UELS (Upland Entry Level Stewardship) and HLS (Higher Level Stewardship) - and the old 'Classic Schemes' (CSS and ESA) are currently worth around 370M to English farmers and landowners each year.

Two of our FEP surveyors have over 20 years combined experience of delivering ESA, Countryside Stewardship and ELS / HLS agreements with Natural England and its predecessors. Our knowledge and efficiency means that you get highly professional service and exceptional value for money.

Environmental Stewardship Applications

Our expertise in preparing Environmental Stewardship applications is demonstrated by the fact that we recently delivered training for professional FEP surveyors in the north west of England in the preparation of Environmental Stewardship applications on behalf of Natural England. Our FEP surveyors provide the following specialist services for Environmental Stewardship applications and agreement holders throughout England:

• Production of Farm Environment Plans (FEPs) (a requirement of HLS applications)
• Drawing-up and submission of ELS and combined ELS / HLS applications
• Drawing up Management Plans (moorland, woodland, bracken and scrub)

Professional FEP Surveyors

We can handle the whole application process from day one or just provide your Farm Environment Plan (FEP). Our close links with Natural England allow us to remain up to date with developments and therefore provide a better, more professional service.
