Evidence: There must be a positive attempt by the farmer to address wildlife conservation on the
farm through the preparation of a Landscape and Nature Conservation and Enhancement Plan (map
and text-based) that clearly identifies the necessary action required to conserve and enhance
biodiversity and landscapes on the farm, and the protection and maintenance of archaeological or
historical sites. The map will correspond with the five year action plan and show where work will be /has been carried out. The Plan (and Audit) should ideally be completed or reviewed by a specialist advisor and must be regularly reviewed (at least every five years by the specialist advisor). The Plan will be updated annually by the farmer and always have a five year work programme. Check Plan.
The Plan must have a review date that must be recorded along with dates for the completed actions.
Check for visual evidence of present and completed actions.
