 Celebrating the boundaries

  landscape designation.

 Interpretation

  To produce a strategy which identifies opportunities to:

• raise awareness of what makes the AONB special.
• help create a sense of place.
• strengthen the profile of the AONB.
• help increase the economic benefit of having visitors in the AONB.

   Indicator Projects

 Survey and monitoring programme of County Wildlife Sites within the AONB

The original District Wildlife Inventory, carried out in 1991, identified many sites of known wildlife interest as being of unconfirmed status. Those sites within the AONB will be screened and prioritised for survey to see whether they are worthy of adoption as County Wildlife Sites.

 Monitoring of recreational usage

  To install and manage automatic counters on key recreational routes, in order to establish the levels
  of recreational use for routes within the AONB.

 Primary archaeological survey

 To carry out a primary archaeological survey that will address the lack of detailed and up to date
  archaeological information about the area, providing enhanced baseline information. The data from the

  survey will also provide information for current and future agri-environment and conservation initiatives, 

  planning consultations and for general research.

 Questionnaire survey of visitors

 To carry out a survey this summer of people visiting the area, to ascertain awareness levels of       

  the landscape designation. To view a pdf(74Kb) of the Survey.
