Landowners

The changing climate coupled with constantly evolving financial schemes is causing landowners in Cornwall & Devon and across the country to face uncertainty. Due to the demands of mitigating against the impacts of climate change as well as the increased demands of meeting food and water security, Lost Habitat acknowledges the livelihoods of landowners and land managers are being increasingly challenged.

Understanding the natural assets on your land and finding novel land management methods will help you to both adapt to the changing climate and transform your land value.

How can Lost Habitat help…

• Assisting landowners in Cornwall & Devon by offering advice and support on how to manage land in a way that benefits wildlife, enhancing the natural assets such as woodlands, wetlands, meadows, and other important habitats.
• Help you to introduce feasible, future-proofed strategies, like natural flood management and rewilding schemes, that will provide an overall benefit to you, people, and the planet.
• Offering consultancy and design services providing management and practical assistance to landowners who want to undertake conservation or restoration work on their land to support wildlife and biodiversity.
• Project delivery such as natural flood management schemes based on the latest science and land restoration guidance, for example, floodplain reconnection, river channel restoration, and runoff storage, all of which prevent soil erosion, reduce flood risk, and improve water quality.
• Connecting landowners with each other and local communities who are interested in wildlife conservation helping to build a network of people all working towards the same shared outcome, sharing each other’s knowledge, skills, and resources.
• Providing landowners with the information, resources, and support needed to manage their land in a way that benefits wildlife and contributes to the conservation of the UK’s natural capital.
• Helping landowners who wish to undertake conservation and restoration work on their land advising on environmentally friendly land management practices and helping our clients to find access to financial support. This might include funding for agri-environmental schemes such as the Countryside Stewardship, the Upstream Thinking Programme, and the Farming in Protected Landscapes Scheme.
