Summary: We have been commissioned to undertake research on 'Path Attributes'.  The research will look at ways of describing paths in a 'standard format' so that people can gauge for themselves whether a path is suitable or interesting to use. This work involves engaging with a wide spectrum of path users and hopefully people who don't currently use paths. In addition we will work with path managers to find out how practical it can be to produce the descriptions.

We have been contracted by the Woodhead and Windyhills Community Trust to produce a management plan for 2010 - 2015 for the Windyhills community woodlands.  This will include consultation with Trust members, the local community and other stakeholders as well as preparing the plan and future work programme.
