| Ribble Valley. The Countryside Minis­


ter, Mr Elliot Morley, was


| in the Forest of Bowland on Monday morning to launch the National Uplands Ini­


tiative. The initiative has been


designed to test, through local partnership, possible measures that could be used to promote sustainable rural development integrat­ ed with environmental con­ servation and enhance­

Forest of Bowland and Bodmin Moor, Cornwall. Prior to Monday’s


responsible for successful bids to MAFF and the European Union for fund­ ing. Of the total project cost of £2.8m., some £1.95m. has been covered by grant


aid. The project involves test­

initiative is designed to ensure agriculture has a real future, with environmental concerns and the need for diversification being tack­ led in a way that is sympa­ thetic to the local country-
