The main priority for Countryside Stewardship is to protect and enhance the natural environment, in particular: increased biodiversity; improved habitat and expanded woodland areas; improved water quality; improved air quality. Other outcomes supported are: protection against flooding and coastal erosion; maintaining the historic environment; improved landscape character; climate change adaptation and mitigation. Countryside Stewardship supports Defras 25 Year Environment Plan for our country to be the healthiest, most beautiful place in the world to live, work and bring up a family. It also supports Defras Strategic Objective of a cleaner, healthier environment, benefitting people and the economy. Countryside Stewardship gives incentives for land managers to look after the environment and is made up of the following elements: Higher Tier agreements for land that requires more complex management tailored to the individual site and now includes woodland maintenance; Mid Tier agreements that provide a range of options and capital items that together help to deliver a broad range of environmental benefits; four Wildlife Offers that provide a simpler set of options to help improve the wildlife on farms; Capital Grants that provide grants for boundaries, trees and orchards, water quality and air quality; Woodland Management Plan grant to help create a UK Forestry Standard (UKFS) compliant 10-year woodland management plan; Woodland Tree Health grant to help restore and improve tree health; Facilitation Fund which supports individuals who bring together groups of farmers, foresters and land managers to improve the environmental outcomes in their area; Protection and Infrastructure grant which provides grants for woodland infrastructure.

The largely undeveloped Sister Islands (Cayman Brac and Little Cayman) are Caymans environmentalflagships, home to the Territorys only RAMSAR site and its most internationally significant wildlife. InvasiveAlien Vertebrates (IAV) pose a major yet largely unmanaged threat. Feral cat predation has resulted incatastrophic native species declines whilst invasive green iguanas are spreading from Grand Cayman. Thisproject will strengthen Territory-wide biosecurity and implement IAV management with local communities,building knowledge, capacity and support for effective and sustainable action.

The aim of the project is to protect and expand the surviving fragments of forest in the Taita Hills in southern Kenya, safeguarding the unique biodiversity of these hills and improving local water security. Activities will include forest conservation and restoration, provision of water harvesting and storage infrastructure, and introduction of agro-forestry and other livelihood initiatives. Taita is formally gazetted as a water tower hill range, and the project will provide a valuable model for other such ranges throughout Kenya.

This measure is the primary Agri-environment-climate funding for England in delivering the Rural Development programme environmental land management priorities and builds on the agri-environment Countryside Stewardship and Environmental Stewardship schemes offered under the previous RD programme. The measure funds activities intended to deliver environmental land management priorities contributing to Englands Biodiversity 2020 goals and legal obligations under the Habitats, Birds and Water Framework Directives and soil commitments made in the Natural Environment White Paper and increase resilience of wildlife, habitats and ecosystems to climate change. Funding is paid according to the payment rate for each option included in the individual agreement, and the area/length/number of the commitment selected and is based on income foregone and additional costs. Agreements can be 5 year multi annual commitments with the option of annual extensions for a further two years. 10 year commitments or longer will be offered in cases where an exception is clearly justified.

The Turks & Caicos Islands (TCI) has the weakest biosecurity capacity of all UKOTs. This multi-sector collaborative project will strengthen biosecurity capacity across TCI, enhancing protection of the islands’ natural assets. Focusing on protecting the Critically Endangered TCI rock iguana, we will mitigate impact of invasive vertebrates and uncontrolled tourism across 11 islands; spanning three national parks and threeprivately-owned islands. Building on previous successes, this project represents the first attempt at holistic management for invasive vertebrates in the region.

Coccus hesperidum, an invasive alien scale insect, has infested Tristan’s only native tree species, Phylicaarborea, smothering and killing many. Endemic Nesospiza buntings, evolved to specialise on Phylica fruit,are therefore threatened with possibly imminent extinction. Biological control has worked for C.hesperidum elsewhere. This project will select, safely test, and release at least two agents in heavilyinfested Phylica stands to reduce scale numbers, safeguarding the bunting species. It will also controlinvasive flax spreading towards threatened Phylica habitat.

To carry out a project to reduce the risk factors at the site - to carry out a geophysical survey in order to securely locate, map and record the site, and based on the survey findings undertake a limited environmental sampling process in order to attempt to better understand the date and composition of the site. Through these means we would then have a secure record of the site and also be able to suggest any suitable management strategies.
