THE Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group (FWAG) in North Yorkshire has organised a series of workshops and events over the next month.
Next Thursday, there will be a conference at Pavilions, at the Great Yorkshire Showground, Harrogate, to celebrate 25 years of farming and conservation at Hopewell House, Knaresborough.
The house was originally part of the Countryside Commission Demonstration Farms project, which started in 1979 to show how commercial farming can be effectively combined with conservation. It is now participating the Defra countryside stewardship scheme.
From Thursday until November 26, courses are taking place all over the county on how to make the most of environmental stewardship on the farm. On Monday, November 29, there will be a hedge-laying workshop, near Rainton, from 10am to 4pm.
On December 3, the group is holding its bi-annual FWAG forum at Leeming Lodge, Leeming Bar.
More details on all the events are available by calling FWAG on (01609) 783632.
