THE VISION

Plan

Regular habitat monitoring – Annual surveys to assess the status of local flora and fauna, with published reports for community transparency. Community involvement programmes – Organised volunteer days for habitat restoration, citizen science initiatives, and educational workshops for local schools. Safe, well-maintained walking and cycling paths linking surrounding communities.

Monitor

Conservation targets – Defined goals such as increasing native wildflower meadows, enhancing pond and wetland features, and ensuring the protection of existing woodland and hedgerows. Biodiversity action plans – Measures to attract and support priority species and range of species as close as possible to previous county records.

Develop

Picnic areas and outdoor seating, sensitively placed to enjoy views while minimising disturbance to wildlife. Interpretive and educational signage explaining the site's unique ecology and rich local history. Designated wildlife observation points and accessible bird hides. Seasonal events or guided walks led by local experts to foster ongoing community engagement.
