• Collectively protecting our land and the environment

• Sustainably managing our forests by making decisions and activities based on scientific research, rigorous planning processes and standards

• Providing a safe and ethical approach to animal care, including breeding practices, farming and the care of farm animals such as highland cattle, goats, horses, and donkeys

·       High quality produce, nourishing our local communities

·       The sustainability of our crops as they build resiliency to weather extremes, pests and diseases, feeding the community for years to come
