Evening meetings for upland farmers on grants and stewardship schemes are to be held in Wensleydale and Swaledale.
The Wensleydale Pantry in Hawes will host a meeting on Thursday, January 31, while the Buck Inn in Reeth will host a gathering on Thursday, February 14.
The meetings are being organised by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority and will start at 7.30pm, with a free supper included.
Advice and assistance will be provided on Countryside Stewardship Mid and Higher Tier applications; the Hedgerows and Boundaries Scheme; Water Capital and Woodland grants; and Ammonia Emissions guidelines.
