Butterfly Conservation has been awarded £727,000 for a project to help farmers improve their land for wildlife and make their business more financially viable at the same time.

The Scotland team will trial a host of experimental techniques at farms in the south of Scotland over the next six years.

The funding has been given as part of the Borderlands Inclusive Growth Deal - an agreement between English and Scottish governments to invest £452 million to boost the economy around the border.
