Commissioned Works

The Forum largely works through co-ordination and facilitation. However the Forum has a small project budget from which it can commission research or actions that will help advance understanding, learning and the application of good practice in protected landscape management. To date these are:

A prospectus for Protected Landscapes in the South West

The prospectus sets out the socio-economic benefits of the internationally designated areas of the south west. It is available for download in sections, as PDF documents:

Diversity work

SWPLF co-ordinated a contract to define catchment areas for SW NPAs/AONBs and provide data on under represented groups, barriers to participation and actions to address them.

Full Final Report  containing all data collected is available on a CD from SWPLF@dartmoor-npa.gov.uk

Notes from our workshop to present the final report can be found under workshop reports
