We were once again invited by the Wildlife Trust to present in their own area at the very popular regenerative agriculture conference Groundswell, which took place at the start of July 2026. It was noticeable that with the introduction of the new Countryside Stewardship Higher Tier action for floodplain meadows ( CGS18) that there was a lot of interest from farmers and others in our talk on funding for floodplain land. Alongside the FMP we also included a speaker from Natural England, and our Steering Group representative from the Wildlife Trust. It was a good turn out with a lot of questions at our mini Q&A afterwards, particularly about the potential for CGS18 and meadow restoration.
