Understanding Common Land – their management and role in protected landscapes

Join Jan and Amanda on a walk across one of the most important limestone landscapes in England and discuss all things common land.

In this walk and talk session, we’ll discuss what is common land, how they work and are managed, their multiple benefits and what threats they are facing.  We’ll also discuss the site’s archaeological importance and status as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and Special Area of Conservation among other designations and what these mean.

Led by:  Jan Darrall & Amanda McCleery (Friends of the Lake District)

Walk grade: Moderate.

Please bring: Picnic lunch, walking kit for all weathers (please note: there is no indoor backup venue, so the walk will go ahead in poor weather unless unreasonable or unsafe to do so), notebook and pen to capture the information from the day

Meeting point: Details of where to meet will be emailed when you book.

These sessions are free to members of Friends of the Lake District (join here if you are not already a member) or £5 for non-members.
