Our Work / Working with Farmers

thomas.jackson@wear-rivers-trust.org.uk

Hello & Welcome

Hi, I'm Thomas Jackson, farm advisor at the Wear Rivers Trust. Please contact me with enquiries or questions about the work we do with farmers in our region.

Contact Me

With over 70% of the UK being farmland, we need to act now to deliver for our farmers and for wildlife at a landscape scale.

Environmental Farming

We understand the importance of profitable and environmental farming for our region's rivers and farmers, so we work hard to improve farm environmental standards in a way that also benefits farmers.

Holistic Approach

Our policy is to create holistic farm management plans that work alongside natural processes to reduce pollution, build soil health, and create resistance to climate change, while also increasing profitability.

Farm Evaluations

We work closely with industry leading partners to evaluate farm practices and create a farm business that builds soil health, creates resistance to climate change and boosts profitability.

Working in a Challenging Landscape

Our areas of focus also include reducing the sediment run-off and nutrient losses that farmland in the Wear catchment can be susceptible to, as a result of the steep glacial valleys and ephemeral streams  found throughout the area.
