Upland ELS (UELS) Announced

Uplands ELS is a new strand of Environmental Stewardship, designed specifically for upland farmers. It combines existing Entry Level Stewardship (ELS) with a new uplands strand. Unlike the HFA - which excluded dairy farmers and those with very small holdings - Uplands ELS will be open to all farmers and land managers in England's ‘Severely Disadvantaged Areas' (SDAs), providing they meet the rules.
