Pie and Pint Evening

Do you farm in Delamere, Cotebrook, Oulton, Utkinton or Little Budworth?

Come along for a free pie and pint and find out more about how Mersey Rivers Trust can help you be more water friendly in your farming. We can provide a free farm plan and possible future funding.

Through visits to your farm and fields, we can provide you with a Water Management Plan, that looks at how clean and dirty water is separated on farm, how runoff is managed, how absorption into the soil and crop rotation is working, and identify any areas that would benefit from small changes such as improved guttering, livestock tracks, water troughs, fencing, trees, rainwater harvesting, and other things too.

This plan will put you in the best position to be able to access funding from us in future years; as we are hopeful that DEFRA will provide us with funding to support any capital improvements we have identified in your Water Management Plan.

Contact sally@merseyrivers.org if you would like any more information about this scheme, or to let us know you're coming to our information evening so we have enough pies! 🙂
