Farming, Ecology and Landscape Recovery in the Brecklands of Eastern England

March 1 @ 2:00 pm EST

The Farmer-Ecologist Research Circle, an initiative of the Hudson Valley Farm Hub & Hawthorne Valley, is sponsoring a free presentation by our visitors from England, farmer Richard Evans and ornithologist Chris Sharpe. The presentation is hosted by the Bard Center for Environmental Policy.

Richard Evans, co-founder and lead farmer in the Breckland Farmers Wildlife Network, will describe his experiences and motivations for helping to run this organization since its inception in 2018. The Network’s goals are to “protect & enhance the biodiversity of the Brecks, [a geographical region in eastern England], help shape future policy to benefit this area, and consider the current & future impacts & balance of food production & ecology in the Brecks.” Chris Sharpe, an ornithologist who has helped gather avian data in the same region, will provide an ecologist’s view of the interaction of bird life and agriculture in that landscape.
