Landscape Management Plan First Steps
Desk top study – look at the landscape and the context/ setting of the site within the landscape; what habitats are nearby and how are they connected to the site?
Site visit – look at what the site contains; (vegetation, species) its connectivity to other habitats and where the management is needed to optimise use of the site for ecology.
Landvision create a variety of Management Plans for clients; Landscape Management Plans for open space, including Breeam ecology reports and plans, grassland and woodland Management Plans. Also,
Biodiversity Action Plans and Protected Species plans. Nature area plans. Wildlife pond plans.
