  I'm really enjoying working with SKDP in order to roll-out this new nation-wide results-based scheme, ACRES. The Agri-Climate Rural Environment Scheme is the first nation-wide results-based scheme, using scorecards in order to pay farmers for the environmental quality of their fields and commonages.I've predominantly used my experience in the management of invasive species, social media, graphic development, GIS and project management in order to deliver value to the overall scheme here in Kerry and West Cork.
