Natural England - Land management

Land management

In this area Natural England’s aim is to ensure that land is managed in a way that delivers environmental services alongside other benefits.

A major focus of our evidence programme (substantially funded by Defra) is on ensuring that the development and delivery of Environmental Stewardship (ES) is evidence based and that we monitor the effectiveness of ES in delivering environmental outcomes. The programme also includes wider research on sustainable land management in other habitats such as woodland.
