View answerAll farmers require the services of an approved GLAS advisor to prepare and submit a GLAS application on their behalf. The farming prescription set out in the Agri Environment Specifications must be applied on all Hen Harrier habitats, and a Sustainable Management Plan must be drawn up by the advisor if the area is designated Natura land.
