Agriculture

The Authority recognises the importance of agriculture to Snowdonia by having dedicated staff to work alongside farmers in the delivery of National Park Purposes. In recent years, the Agriculture Liaison Section has been instrumental in drawing down European funding to enable farmers to undertake a number of land management projects.

Additional to the delivery of grants for land management the section also provides technical and policy advice/ support and determines permitted developing (planning) applications for agriculture within the National Park.

Currently, the following schemes are being delivered by the Conservation & Agriculture Services:

• Snowdonia Buzz - a unique opportunity for those living within the Park to keep bees!
• Plant New Orchard Trees - enouraging more people within the Park to establish an orchard or to extend an orchard
