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: Horses the Landscape and You - A Guide to Keeping Horses in Protected Landcapes A joint publication with The Bristish Horse Society, FWAG and the protected areas in the south west. The publication provides guidance, information and contacts to help make sure horses are well cared for and make a positive contribution to our landscape.
Commitments for a sustainable future 2009 - 2014 A joint statement by the South West Protected Landscapes to build a more sustainable future for our landscapes. A commitment from the 15 Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and National Parks to play a key role in building functional, adapted and resilient landscapes for future generations. Drawn from the 15 Management Plans produced by the AONB Partnerships and National Park Authorities the commitments seek to align partnership delivery and focus resources on a core set of priority activities:
