This is your opportunity to join our Countryside & Rights of Way Service, playing a vital role in making these challenging targets a reality.

Over the next two years we plan to engage with a broad range of internal and external partners, across communities, within other local authorities and with farmers and private landowners. Through partnership working with these stakeholders, we aim to identify and deliver changes in the ways that we collectively manage our land for wildlife and our residents at a landscape scale.
