The @PastureForLife is showcasing farm biodiversity pastureforlife.org/ . It got me thinking back over the last 37 years on what we have done due to @DefraGovUK @DefraNature @NaturalEngland grants. I hope future farmers can benefit in putting in nature`s infrastructure.

@CotswoldBeef we’ve planted 1000’s of trees over 30yrs which the cattle can now take advantage. They provide shade and they graze low branches,weeds,grasses and brambles beneath. They also browse the orchard once apples are picked. #agroforestry #biodiversity #bethechange
