On one of the rare sunny spells in August Mid Norfolk MP George Freeman visited cultivated margins at Bowes Farms Ltd at the kind invitation of BFWN member Kevin Bowes. We were able to explain how beneficial the margins are to biodiversity in the Brecks and how the work of Dr Rob Hawkes in the recent DEFRA Test and Trial has optimised the location of margins. He went away with a good understanding of how important it will be to adequately incentivise creating a network of margins as part of landscape recovery.
