The formal publication of the 'River Wye Land Use Modelling Project using Farmscoper - Version 2' (link)' by Natural England on 17 July 2025 was noted.

A board member commented on some of the limitations of modelling and considered that differentiation between pig and poultry farms would be helpful.

There was a brief discussion about the length of time that it took for final reports to materialise from some agencies.  It was noted that resourcing challenges within small teams could affect project delivery.
