These designations include Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), Special Areas of Conservation (SAC), Scheduled Anceint Monuments (SAM) and a Local Nature Reserve (LNR). Therefore traditional management skills are used and applied where necessary. Much of our winter work includes coppicing, scrub cutting and woodland thinning, whilst the summer months include brush cutting, pathway and general maintenance. All the sites have open access and with over 250,000 visitors each year visitor management is both crucial and challenging, requiring excellent communication and engagement skills. Show less
