FARMERS and other landowners will have a chance to learn about grassland management during a farm walk taking place next week.
The free walk, at Harperley Park Farm, in Kyo Lane, Stanley, on Thursday, at 1pm, is led by Marian Wilby from the Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group.
Visitors will be able to walk around the farm, which includes a number of species of wildlife, wet grass- land managed for hay and grazing, and small-scale tree planting.
Katie Wellstead, projects and programme co-ordinator for the Great North Forest, said: "This farm walk is an ideal opportunity for farmers, landowners and the local equestrian community to learn more about grassland and hedge management, and to discuss topics such as the Entry Level and Higher Level Schemes along with the New English Woodland Grant Scheme."
Refreshments will be provided
