A message from the Whitlow Landcare Group
New and current landholders in Whitlow region are always welcome to attend meetings and functions.

Whitlow members are interest in learning and improving farming practices to interact as best as we can with our environment, if we can pass on any of our knowledge to interested parties then we would be pleased to do that.
