FWAG SouthWest

FWAG SouthWest Farming & Wildlife Advisory Group SouthWest is a registered charity dedicated to promoting wildlife, environment and sustainable farming practices.

FWAG was founded in the 1960’s by a group of forward thinking farmers who saw that the environment was an important part of successful farming businesses. Since then we have provided impartial, professional advice to UK agriculture, and have a membership of over 2,000 farmers who share our vision and support our charitable aims. FWAG SouthWest has 15 advisers across the region. Our team includes s

pecialists who can provide independent, reliable information, practical advice, guidance and training in order to bring both financial and wildlife benefits to your farm.
