The remote and beautiful Upper Duddon Valley in the south of the Lake District is one of the first of the Government’s new Landscape Recovery projects to get the go-ahead. It’s a twenty-year plan to restore nature and deliver environmental outcomes like storing carbon and reducing flooding across a wide area of land, 2400 hectares of fells and valley, 10 miles from end to end. But also key to its success, is supporting the culture and tradition of fell farming in South Cumbria. Caz Graham visits to hear how partnership-working between local farmers, landowners, environmental organisations and the University of Leeds, who are leading the project, is already making this happen. Presented and produced by Caz Graham.
