Buffer Strip Mixtures

    Buffer strips, managed as low-intensity grassland, can be used for a wide variety of purposes such as creating new habitats and protecting existing ones, protecting archaeological features and capturing surface water run-off.

    Although normally sited around the edges of fields, they can also be used within fields, for example to protect a group of in-field trees.
