Farm Wildlife Walks – Dumfries

Farming with nature at Alton

(Please see map above or What3Words for exact location)

Two years ago the Farm Advisory Service launched the Farm Wildlife Walks initiative, an attempt to promote grass-roots conversations around nature conservation and the positive impacts of nature-friendly farming practices.

Join us at Alton where the sheep enterprise is managed in a landscape rich in wildlife habitats. We will visit: species-rich grassland, wader grazed grassland, hedgerows and scrub and discuss the value of having all of these habitats linked together for the benefit of wildlife.  We will also cover Whole Farm Plan biodiversity audit requirements.
