Item information
Description
Presented by Professor Roy Brown, 7 Lime Chase, KIRBYMOORSIDE, North Yorkshire, YO62 6BX.
Professor Roy Brown is offering a full three day field assessment and report back survey for a moorland estate looking at either issues of tick borne disease or preparing a bracken management plan which will comply with the new environmental stewardship schemes' requirements (the schemes will become available from 01/01/2016).
The stewardship requirements will be different in Scotland and England but the management plan will accommodate this. The lot will be of particular interest to moor owners/managers where there is a bracken problem, even if there is a current control programme, as it will include the opportunity to have a thorough appraisal of the existing bracken condition, to take part in current trials on bracken control and to have some primary bracken control and follow up carried out without charge as part of the five year scientific study.
The commercial rate for this type of package would normally be £400 per day and more, if a detailed analysis, as well as preparation of a practical advisory report, were needed. A special rate is being offered for the Country Market & Sporting Sale.
The best time for both surveys to be taken is July by arrangement with the donor. If the moorland was more than a couple of hours from North Yorkshire, accommodation may be required by separate negotiation.
PLEASE NOTE: All successful bidders will be notified immediately on completion of the Sale by email. To secure the Lot, payment should be made within 7 days of the notification.
Payment can be made on the website through Paypal, these payments will be subject to a small surcharge. Alternative arrangements can be made to pay by cheque, payable to 'The Heather Trust', or by direct bank transfer.
IMPORTANT: To avoid causing difficulties for the donor, we expect the buyer to take up a lot at a mutually convenient date within twelve months of the Sale.
