Not just trees - another kind of ELMS

How to put a price on a river like this?

​Farming Today on Thursday, 13 May included an item on the new Environmental Land Management Scheme known catchily as ELMS but causing no confusion on the part of our elm tree enthusiast Chairman.  Click on this link and go to c. 6 minutes in for the ELMS item or to c. 8.40 minutes for what's happening in  the Cranborne Chase AONB and a short quote from our Peter.

​Little by little, maybe we - and the farming community - will get the hang of this.   Part of what's involved is estimating the value of the 'natural assets' like the Nadder on Peter's farm.  It sounds an extremely complex process. 

(Thank you to Andrew Graham, aka lark, for alerting me to this.)
