A LANDSCAPE-SCALE PARTNERSHIP, ROOTED IN LOCAL KNOWLEDGE.

The Sugar Loaf Regeneration Farm Partnership brings local farmers together with Stump Up for Trees and the National Trust.

By working across individual farms, common land and the wider landscape, we can develop joined-up approaches that support biodiversity, strengthen farming and help the area adapt to a changing climate.

FARMER-LED. LANDSCAPE-SCALE. FOCUSED ON RESILIENCE.

The project is funded by the Welsh Government through the Integrated Natural Resources Scheme.

INRS supports farmers, foresters and land managers to work together to restore natural processes, improve biodiversity and strengthen ecosystem resilience across whole landscapes.

Current project funding runs until September 2028.

FOUR CONNECTED GOALS. ONE SHARED FUTURE.

Our vision is to build environmental, landscape and agricultural resilience while nurturing a strong Sugar Loaf community.

That means improving habitat and access to clean water, adapting to flood and fire risk, supporting viable farms and helping local people collaborate around the natural resources on their doorstep.
