The Farming & Wildlife Advisory Group (FWAG)

Environmental management is an increasingly important part of farming today. With the introduction of cross compliance, increased funding available through agri-environment schemes and growing consumer awareness of environmental aspects of food production, today's farmer needs to make the most of these opportunities and ensure compliance with environmental regulations. FWAG is uniquely places at the heart of the industry to offer solutions, to help with environmental advice for every farming and land management business.

What is FWAG?
The Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group Ltd (FWAG) is the UK's only independent and dedicated provider of environmental and conservation advice and consultancy to farmers, landowners and crofters.
Formed in 1969, FWAG has grown into a network of 120 highly skilled Farm Conservation Advisers located within over fifty regional and county groups across the UK.
A voluntary committee of local farmers and representatives from the agricultural industry supports and steers each FWAG Group to ensure that it continues to be farmer led.
FWAG is a charitable organisation that seeks to support and enthuse farmers to secure long-term environmental benefits on their land. By working with its environmental partners, FWAG helps farmers to make a difference for wildlife and the environment on all farmland.

How FWAG helps Farmers
FWAG's Farm Conservation Advisers understand the pressures on farming and the environment. Our expertise and practical advice integrates conservation with the management and can make a positive contribution to the bottom line of your business.
Advice provided during one-to-one farm visits is supported by tailor-made plans to guide you through the implementation of the management recommendations on your farm.
Further best practice advice is disseminated through walks, talks, workshops, leaflets and the FWAG website. FWAG also represents the needs of farmers, wildlife and the environment when in consultation with government, environmental bodies and farming organisations at the national, regional and local level.
