Tuesday 22nd October, 11:00 – 14:00
This FiPL and National Lottery-funded Farm Net Zero (FNZ) event will be hosted by FNZ
Monitor Farmers, Will and Kate Martin of Treway farm.
Herbal leys are an attractive option for livestock farmers looking to improve pasture quality
and reduce inputs, and the new Sustainable Farming Incentive option allows for overseeding
them, but what is the best way to achieve this?
Will Martin will discuss the trial establishment methods he carried out, and the subsequent
grazing management.
Hannah Jones will provide soil and plant species count data alongside Will’s establishment
cost and the associated carbon footprint.
Katie Bliss / Emma Bishop from Cornwall Wildlife Trust, will share insights from their role
assessing sward diversity of existing pastures and supporting farmers to navigate
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), which may be required to overseed permanent
pastures on uncultivated or semi-natural land (such as National Landscape)
Lunch will be provided, so booking is essential.
To book your place and lunch (please advise of any dietary requirements), please contact Alex
Bebbington (alex.bebbington@duchy.ac.uk) or Hannah Jones (Hannah.jones@farmcarbontoolkit.org.uk)
