Hilary Kehoe a NFU Cymru member has been appointed as the new grazing coordinator for Anglesey Grazing Animals Partnership (AGAP). The new partnership is to be launched on Tuesday, 12 August at Anglesey Show.
The main purpose of this scheme is to achieve sustainable grazing on wildlife rich sites across Anglesey and to deliver wildlife gain through establishing sustainable grazing regimes on over 300 hectares of Coastal Heath, Coastal Grassland and Fens within the five specified areas on the Island.
Hilary Kehoe is anxious to work with members of the local farming, landowning and land management community to identify and co-ordinate sources of support, advice and funding that will assist them in delivering ongoing development of the Ynys Mon Local Grazing Scheme.
"This scheme will contribute to the local economy by supporting and encouraging farm diversification opportunities for local farmers, as well as increase public understanding of the role of traditional pastoralism in the evolution of the Welsh landscape here on Anglesey," said Hilary.
Anyone wanting to find out more information about the scheme is welcome to contact Hilary through e-mailing agap@wildlifetrustswales.org.uk or drop by at the Anglesey Show, where a member of staff will be willing to discuss any questions you may have.
