The Limestone Country Project (LCP) began in June 2002 and ran until March 2007. It then continued under a year's extension until June 2008. It was focussed on over 11,000 hectares of uplands in Yorkshire around Ingleborough, Malham and Wharfedale, one of the UK's most important limestone landscapes, and land that has been designated as internationally important Special Areas for Conservation for the outstanding limestone geology, unique habitats and species.
The aim of the project was to protect and improve some of England's most important wildlife sites, by borrowing from farming practices of the past and promoting extensive farming with hardy native cattle breeds across the Malham and Ingleborough areas of Yorkshire Dales National Park. By working with the area's farmers the Limestone Country Project aimed to improve the conservation management of two internationally important wildlife sites - Ingleborough Complex SAC & Craven Limestone Complex SAC - by encouraging a return to mixed livestock farming using hardy upland cattle breeds.
