This article will expand on an area of research currently being carried out on the Lizard, mentioned in my previous entry.
The area of research I will expand on is the FARM (Farming and Resilience Management) project. The FARM project is an initiative led by myself and PhD student Timothy Walker from the University of Exeter, supported by Roskilly and Camel Farms, in conjunction with the Environment and Sustainability Institute.
AimThe aim of the FARM project is to determine areas of the Lizard most suitable to conservation management. Using this information we will discuss the potential for implementing management schemes with local farmers. We hope to determine which management schemes are both suitable and realistic within the farming framework.
