BUBS academic joins environmental project assessment panel

Dr Sean Beer of BUBS has been appointed to the Farming in Protected Landscapes (FiBL) Programme Local Assessment Panel, for Cranborne Chase AONB. The panel examines applications for funding from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) for projects that will:

  • support nature recovery
  • mitigate the impacts of climate change
  • provide opportunities for people to discover, enjoy and understand the landscape and its cultural heritage
  • support nature-friendly, sustainable farm businesses.

Sean has worked with the AONB for a number of years, including helping in their successful application to become a Dark Sky Reserve. This also comes on the back of him acting as a Trustee and Company Director for the Nuffield Farming Trust for the past three years.
