MORE than £1.2 million has been invested in Exmoor’s farming community over the past year through the Farming in Protected Landscapes (FiPL) programme, delivering a wide range of environmental and community benefits across the national park.
Exmoor National Park Authority confirmed this month, that its FiPL allocation for the past year had risen to £1.2 million, thanks to a successful bid for additional government funds.
