The Farming and Wildlife group comprises of NGOs and LEAs, with seconded teachers, working in the field of environment and development education as applied to countryside management. Regional co-ordination and promotion of farming in schools, especially primary, is particularly difficult, and links with YAS and FACE have been especially fruitful. Disseminating high quality tailored curriculum materials is the great need.
