Capital Grant Funding under CSS

We are pleased to have been able to assist a number of landowners with gaining approval for stand alone grant funding under Countryside Stewardship. As many are starting to think about making a start on capital projects, it is important to remember to keep records of the works you complete during your #CountrysideStewardship agreement. The Rural Payments Agency (RPA) recommend that you take photographs before, during and after completing any capital works.
