14 ways for Somerset farmers to win grants
Somerset farmers are invited to bid in a revamped auction for works to reduce flooding, boost agriculture, and improve the environment. The event is being organised by the Farming & Wildlife Advisory Group SouthWest for Somerset Rivers Authority (SRA) and Bristol Water. The funding available is £60,000, with £40,000 coming from the SRA, and £20,000 from Bristol Water. The auction will run online from Monday 14 March to Monday 28 March. The focus this year is on the upper and mid-level catchments of the Axe, Brue and Frome rivers within Somerset, and the upper and mid-level catchments of rivers and streams within West Somerset.
