ACRES Scorecards General & Co-operation Approach
These scorecards are for use in both ACRES General and Co-operation approaches, and may be used, where appropriate, on all lands in Co-operation Project areas, Commonage and for relevant ACRES General actions (namely, the Grassland scorecard is to be used for scoring of the ‘Low Input Grassland’ action and the Low Input Peat Grassland scorecard for the ‘Low Input Peat Grassland’ action, both of which fall within the ACRES General approach)
