Following the Guardian report on a possible £100m cut in ELM funding and the Government's rapid review of the forthcoming Environmental Improvement Plan (EIP) to help it meet the Environment Act targets, I can only surmise this is going to increase the role of business in nature recovery.

To note: The next application round for Natural England nutrients is planned for: 9 October 2024 to 5 November 2024 (round 7).

The cost of a credit in the Tees catchment area for round 6 is £2,700.

The last round had them at £1,825.

I've just expanded the categories and colour coding to cater for Mosaics and Scrub.

Hopefully that will be about it, or the map will get really confusing!
