Funded by Natural England, this five-month project, which started in November 2021, mapped the uptake of Environmental Stewardship and Countryside Stewardship building maintenance options. Once the mapping was complete, analysis of the geographic pattern of uptake was compared to the national character mapping to identify gaps in uptake.
The CCRI are currently involved in an on-going series of themed research projects under the DEFRA Research and Experimental Development (R&D) Framework.
This Natural England funded project took place over three months in early 2022, and enabled Chris Short and Dr Phil Staddon to produce a rigorous assessment of the sensitivity of habitats in Britain to climate change. The assessment will be based on consultations with habitat and climate change experts.
During this project, we will give thought to a full range of management approaches when considering how a citizen science monitoring framework could contribute to Integrated Catchment Management.
The CCRI is to join 'Alternet', a collaborative network of leading European research institutes.
The work of numerous researchers in the CCRI has been referenced in a new report published today by the House of Lords Land Use Committee.
The British Academy has now published the outputs from its 'Shared Understandings of a Sustainable Future research programme', under which the 'Rural Climathons' research project was funded.
To coincide with World Soil Day, a new SoilPlastic App is available for citizens, students and farmers which will help scientists understand how much plastic ends up in soils.
This project will involve an independent, process, impact and value for money evaluation of the FMP programme and of the development and implementation of FMPs in England and FMPs jointly delivered by England and Wales.
