A Government minister has visited a farm in Chearsley.
Rebecca Pow MP, the Minister for Environmental Quality and Resilience was at Rose Dale's Organic Farm in Chearsley.
The Minister visited the farm run by the owner and farmer Rose Dale who has worked closely with River Thame Conservation Trust and Freshwater Habitats Trust (with partnership funding from the Environment Agency) to carefully design and excavate a network of ponds across a field that is also used to graze cattle.
Rose Dale, Farmer and Owner of Rose Dale’s Organic Farm at Manor Farm said: “ I run a 200-acre organic and regenerative farm in the heart of the beautiful Buckinghamshire countryside which produces beef and lamb for the local community. I believe that farming and agriculture should not and must not damage our precious planet but instead contribute positively by enhancing biodiversity, improving the health of our soils, the quality of the air that we breathe and the cleanliness of the water in our rivers and streams. ”
