CLA Midlands Comment: Natural England abandons its Vision for the UplandsCommenting on Natural England's decision to abandon its vision for the Uplands, CLA Midlands Rural Adviser said: "The CLA never completely agreed with Natural England's vision for the Uplands because it did not acknowledge the need to pay farmers, foresters and land managers for the wildlife, habitats and landscapes they provide for the public. But at least it recognised the uplands as a special case and it remains so. "Businesses in upland areas operate on very tight margins and are generally not economically viable without public funds to pay for the public goods they provide. "They might be sparsely populated areas with limited employment opportunities and poor transport and communications infrastructure, yet hill farming punches far above its weight, providing a wide range of environmental and economic benefits, not least a backdrop for tourism. "Government must now look for new ways to provide income streams to help these areas remain well managed, productive and viable. Natural England's Vital Uplands: A 2060 Vision for England's Upland Environment was launched in November 2009.
