The collaborative approach to this project brings together 10 organisations with a common goal to tackle issues impacting on the rural communities across their landscape. The shared aim is to unlock the potential of approximately 40 sites across the landscape to improve habitats and soil condition, reverse the loss of species, improve nutrient recycling and increase the amount of carbon store potential.
The sites vary from upland locations to coastal dune habitats providing important flood control functions. Activities will tackle encroachment of scrub across recreational areas, opening up key viewing points and providing solutions to sustaining access. Improving green areas on the edge of urban communities and organising educational and community events around stocking and gathering animals aims to raise awareness of the benefits and opportunities the landscape provides.
The project aims to help rejuvenate traditional land management skills alongside the development of new skills and potential business opportunities drawing on the breadth of experience across the range of collaborators and through the engagement of young people in the area.
