Rural Stewardship Scheme ( RSS)
The RSS closed to new applications on 30 April 2006. The scheme, part of the Scottish Rural Development Plan, provided assistance to encourage farmers and crofters to undertake positive conservation management measures and capital works in association with conservation management.
From next year, support is likely to be delivered through Land Management Contracts, details of which will be available in due course. See note on the Scottish Rural Development Programme ( SRDP) on the inside front cover.
