The Potential for Regenerative Land Use in Stroud District - Nov 24

Hear from Rebecca Charley, Stroud District Council’s Strategic Lead for Nature Recovery and Biodiversity.

With over 20 years of experience, including as a Land Use and Farming Advisor for The National Trust, Rebecca brings a wealth of knowledge from the conservation sector.

Rebecca has a history of working with farmers and land managers to implement Environmental Land Management schemes. She now aims to make council-managed land more nature-friendly and is forming a Stroud-based farmer group to promote landscape-scale nature management across the district.

In addition to her role with Stroud District Council, Rebecca is a local farmer. She raises a suckler herd of rare breed Red Poll cattle, which graze on species-rich grasslands full of orchids, knapweed, scabious, and more.
