Overview
By creating the zone, a large area of wildlife friendly habitat will have been formed which will effect population increase and spread of, in particular, six range restricted farmland bird species.
Farmland bird friendly zone
The Thorney Farmland Bird Friendly Zone (TFBFZ) is an ambitious landscape-scale farmland bird conservation project aimed at tailor managing arable farmland across a large area of Cambridgeshire countryside for the benefit of farmland birds and other wildlife.
Key Dates
- Nature-friendly farmers managing 37 square kilometres of surrounding farmed land have come together in this project to save farmland birds and other wildlife.
Planned Work
Land management options for farmland birds within the UK Government Environmental Stewardship Schemes are being used resulting in each farm being managed for the year round benefit of birds and other wildlife.
Funding
- Peterborough City Council support the project.
