- Farming practices to overcome environmental issues
- Maintain existing hedgerows at suitable size / shape
- Plant hedges rather than using fences
- Maintain / create ponds
- Leave wet areas
- Plant native trees on areas of land with low SD rather than in species rich areas
- Reduce use of pesticides - biological control or organisms resistant to pests can be used instead
- Use organic fertilisers
- Crop rotation including a nitrogen fixing crop rather than using fertilisers to improve soil fertility
- Create natural meadows using hay rather than grasses for silage
- Only cut hedges / field edges after flowering / seeds have dispersed
