Paul Hill is the Head of Head of Environmental Land Management and oversees the management of the Trust’s farming operations and countryside estate. Paul began his career in agriculture upon commercially run arable and livestock farms. This was followed by another 20 years working for conservation organisations, local government and private landowners, establishing, advising and directly managing new economically, sustainable integrated conservation farming operations which are still operating viably today.

“The challenges agriculture and its surrounding environment now face means we need to be innovative with our future management strategies. It’s now really important that we ensure these enterprises work in partnership and harmony with each other to mutual benefit. By doing this, we can create ethically integrated, sustainable systems that will enhance public enjoyment of our green spaces, as well as allow us to demonstrate our methodologies to other farmers, landowners and organisations.”
