Tir Gofal
Tir Gofal is a whole farm agri-environment scheme funded by the Welsh Assembly Government. The scheme has been available throughout Wales since April 1999 and aims to encourage agricultural practices which will protect and enhance the landscapes of Wales, their cultural features and associated wildlife.
Tir Gofal Habitat Training Courses
The Tir Gofal scheme comprises four key elements, one of which is to provide training as Management Days for farmers in managing specific habitats. One-day Habitat Management Days are fully-funded and open to all Tir Gofal Agreement Holders who have registered with Farming Connect - Tel No. 08456 000 824
Within Wales, the Management Days are split into three regions; North, South-east and West. The Grassland Development Centre at IBERS, Aberystwyth University, in conjunction with FWAG Cymru and Pembrokeshire College were awarded the contract to deliver these training events for these FC regions.
