A £100m project to transform the countryside, boost wildlife and help prevent flooding is now paying farmers for their work for the first time.

More than 50 farms are involved in the Evenlode Landscape Recovery Project, restoring 3-thousand hectares of Cotswold farmland.

Investors including Network Rail, SSEN and Oxfordshire County Council are now investing in the largely government-funded scheme, in the hope that infrastructure, like roads and rail lines, will be better protected by the work.
