Environmental Schemes

Cambrian Mountains Environmentally Sensitive Area / Tir Gofal/ Tir Cynnal are environmental schemes that reward farmers for caring for wildlife, historical and cultural features on their land.

They are designed to support the farming community in protecting the rich heritage of rural Wales and reflect the National Assembly’s priorities for a sustainable farming, coupled with greater opportunities for public enjoyment of the countryside. Again all members of the group are within an environmental scheme.

The objectives are:

• To protect and enhance habitats of importance to wildlife.
• To protect and enhance the beauty of the landscape.
• To protect and enhance historic and archaeological features.
• To provide opportunities for new access to the countryside
