Farmers, crofters and land managers will be able to apply for a targeted range of options which include management support for corncrakes (Photo: Graham Goodall / RSPB-images.com) A NEW funding round of Scotland s Agri-Environment Climate Scheme will reopen in late January on a limited basis. Farmers, crofters and land managers will be able to apply for a targeted range of options which will focus on designated sites, organics, management supporting farmland waders, corn buntings and corncrakes, slurry stores and improving public access.

It will also promote public wellbeing by providing infrastructure for recreational activities such as walking, cycling and sight-seeing.
