Farming for Nature

Farming For Nature is a non-profit initiative whose mission is to support, encourage and inspire farmers who farm, or who wish to farm, in a way that will improve the natural health of our countryside. Farming for Nature is an independent initiative hosted by the Burrenbeo Trust and funded by NPWS and DAFM.

Recently the organisation published a wonderful handbook - The Farming for Nature Handbook - inspired by the requests they receive at Farming for Nature from people wanting to learn how best to manage their land, big or small, in a way that enhances habitats, increases wildlife, harnesses natural processes, protects profits, and safeguards our natural environment and rural communities for future generations.

With over 76,000 words and stunning illustrations, this handbook is designed to help guide users who want to ‘farm for nature’. Each of the 12 chapters contains ‘top tips’ from farmers with decades of experience in farming for nature, as well as management recommendations based on extensive research. This book will guide and inspire you on your farming for nature journey, regardless of your farm size, enterprise type, or starting point.

You can order the handbook on their website. https://www.farmingfornature.ie/product/farming-for-nature-handbook/
