Webinar: Public access to private land
© Tim Scrivener Opportunities for farmers to reap financial rewards from public access was the subject of our recent webinar.
Public access can be provided by a landowner as a community benefit or it can be granted under a scheme such as Countryside Stewardship.
Some landowners are also cashing in on the surge in dog ownership, letting out whole fields specifically for dog walkers.
Public access to private land webinar
In this webinar, a panel of experts debated the dos and don’ts of public access to private land and answered questions such as:
- Is the premium payment for providing public access under the England Woodland Creation Offer, a taste of things to come?
- With the promise of future payments through ELMs is allowing public access something farmers are planning to do?
- Could public access bring with it a surge in rural crime and fly tipping?
- Would farmers need to increase their public liability insurance rates if they allow access?
- What is the farmer’s legal responsibility when allowing public access to their land?
