HERs in England have been a source of information for the Countryside Stewardship Scheme, a grant scheme which was first piloted in 1991. It aims included the conservation of archaeological sites and historic features, by adapting land management practices. The Countryside Stewardship Scheme was replaced by [Environmental Stewardship|Glossary#Environmental Stewardship|target='_blank'] in 2004, comprising two tiers – Entry Level Stewardship (ELS) and Higher Level Stewardship (HLS). HERs supplied information on the archaeology of the area, together with recommendations as to the optimum method of land management for all the Higher Level Stewardship (HLS) schemes. English Heritage was able to help many local authorities employ Historic Environment Countryside Advisers to fulfil this role.

As part of their work for Environmental Stewardship, participating HERs, alongside the NMR, supplied data for Natural England’s Selected National Heritage Dataset ([SNHD|Glossary#SNHD|target='_blank'], 2005) to pre-populate applicant's maps for the scheme. In 2009 SNHD was replaced by [SHINE|Glossary#SHINE|target='_blank'] - the Selected Heritage Inventory for Natural England (2009 - ongoing) a single nationally consistent dataset created by HERs, of undesignated historic environment features from across England that could benefit from management within agri-environment schemes. SHINE was used to inform Entry Level Stewardship (ELS) schemes, enabling farmers and landowners to identify archaeological and historic sites on their holding that might be eligible for grant-aided management, and as part of the Higher Level Stewardship (HLS) fast track applications, to flag up potential manageable features to Natural England Advisors in order to focus advice on parcels where HLS options could benefit the historic environment. Environmental Stewardship was closed to new applicants in 2014, although existing agreements will still be managed until they reach their agreed end date
In 2005, Natural England in partnership with English Heritage and ALGAO, created the Selected National Heritage Dataset ([SNHD|Glossary#SNHD|target='_blank']), comprising selected archaeological sites across England, as recorded in the [NMR|Glossary#NMRE|target='_blank'], together with datasets supplied from nine participating HERs. The data was used to pre-populate applicant's maps for the Entry Level Stewardship (ELS) schemes. Given the limited coverage and lack of consistency of the archaeological sites included, SNHD was replaced by SHINE in 2009. SHINE - the Selected Heritage Inventory for Natural England - is a single nationally consistent dataset of undesignated historic environment features from across England that could benefit from management within agri-environment schemes. With over 60,000 records created by HERs to date, SHINE provides a much more consistent and comprehensive dataset, and through Environmental Stewardship, has enabled farmers, land managers, and land owners to identify archaeological and historic sites that might be eligible for grant-aided management, and has focused advice on areas where management options could benefit the historic environment. Environmental Stewardship was closed to new applicants in 2014, although existing agreements will be managed until they reach their agreed end date.

The new [Countryside Stewardship |Glossary#Countryside Stewardship|target='_blank'] will replace [Environmental Stewardship|Glossary#Environmental Stewardship|target='_blank'] in summer 2015, comprising Higher Tier (similar to HLS) and Mid Tier (similar to ELS). Countryside Stewardship is more targeted than previous schemes with a focus on biodiversity and water quality, but continues to encourage the protection and enhancement of the historic environment. Targeting statements, informed by SHINE, are being used to identify the priority features and issues for the Historic Environment within each Natural England defined National Character Area ([NCA|Glossary#NCA|target='_blank']).

Natural England manage [SHINE|Glossary#SHINE|target='_blank'] - the Selected Heritage Inventory for Natural England, a single, nationally consistent dataset of undesignated historic environment features from across England that could benefit from management within agri-environment schemes administered by Natural England on behalf of Defra. The data has been created by local authority Historic Environment Records (HERs) and has been fed into a national SHINE dataset, which now consists of over 60,000 records. Local Authority HERs continue to ‘convert’ their HER records to [SHINE|Glossary#SHINE|target='_blank'] format, based on defined set of selection criteria. SHINE is not publicly available; however, it can be accessed via [www.myshinedata.org.uk|http://www.myshinedata.org.uk/|target='_blank'] by farmers, land managers, land owners and tenants entering into agri-environment schemes.

The data is created by Local Authority Historic Environment Records (HERs), with each archaeological site assessed against a set of national selection criteria in order to qualify for inclusion in SHINE ([Natural England, 2013]). Data from each HER is merge into the national SHINE dataset which consists of over 60,000 records. SHINE is not publicly available; however, it is accessible to farmers, land managers, land owners and tenants entering into agri-environment schemes.

Another example is the SHINE and the SHINE-HLS project. SHINE, the Selected Heritage Inventory for Natural England, is a single, nationally consistent dataset of undesignated historic environment features from across England that could benefit from management within agri-environment schemes. The data has been created by local authority Historic Environment Records (HERs) and has fed into a national SHINE dataset. The project has established a clear set of selection criteria, which HER records must be assessed against in order to qualify for SHINE. SHINE represents an important step forward in managing the historic environment in rural England, ensuring that features that are manageable under agri-environment schemes are mapped to consistent standards, promoting positive, appropriate management.The development of the SHINE-HLS online service, funded by Defra and Natural England, has also demonstrated that HERs can deliver consistent management advice via a digital consultation process, alongside management advice form English Heritage. Together SHINE and SHINE-HLS will ensure that the Historic Environment remains a significant consideration in any future developments for agri-environment.
Another example is [SHINE|Glossary#SHINE|target='_blank'], the Selected Heritage Inventory for Natural England, which provides a single methodology that allows HERs to
input data from their local record into a single nationally consistent dataset. SHINE represents an important step forward in managing the historic environment in rural England, ensuring that features that are manageable under agri-environment schemes are mapped to consistent national standards, promoting positive, appropriate management of the historic environment, in close partnership with Natural England and English Heritage.

The new environmental land management scheme replacing Environmental Stewardship (ES), the English Woodland Grant Scheme (EWGS) and capital grants from the Catchment Sensitive Farming (CSF) programme. Countryside Stewardship will provide focused funding to rural businesses to help them improve the countryside environment. It will be open to all eligible farmers, land managers, land owners and tenants in summer 2015.

The Selected Heritage Inventory for Natural England, a single nationally consistent dataset of undesignated historic environment features from across England that could benefit from management within agri-environment schemes. The data has been created by Local Authority HERs and merged into a national dataset. To qualify for SHINE, the archaeological site must be substantive, verifiable sites, of known character, with an extent that is closely mappable, and which would benefit from one of the management options. Further information can be found at www.myshinedata.org.uk.
