Outdoor Access
Outdoor access is not just about paths and tracks: it is also about the people who use them, as well as those who don't. There are different reasons for managing access to land and water, but usually the aim is to provide a high quality of experience.
Walking-the-Talk can help you to:
Plan access proposals from development of a strategy, bidding for funds to engaging with users
Deliver actions on the ground, from site supervision to developing interpretive materials
Evaluate the impact of your work on people and the environment
Land Management
All of the UK's land is managed to some extent. But different land uses have different needs and can impact on the environment in different ways. In some cases there may be grants available to help land managers maximise their environmental benefit, or you may need to consider what your land management business should be doing to demonstrate how you are protecting the environment.
Walking-the-Talk can help you with:
- Applications to the Scotland Rural Development Programme (SRDP) - Rural Priorities scheme
- Completion of Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (NVZ) forms
- Completion of nutrient budgets
- Diffuse pollution audits
- Compliance with farm assurance schemes
Freshwater resources and management
Scotland's rivers and lochs are an integral part of our landscape.
Communication and Public Relations
Whether you want to put across your point of view or get people around a table to find out what they think, you need clear and well thought through communications.
Walking-the-Talk can help you to:
Plan your communication activities to make the most of the available opportunities, and to create new ones
Deliver the communications you need to get the message across to your chosen audience, at the right time
Evaluate the effectiveness of your communication and help adapt your strategies accordingly
Web hosting
Everybody's got one, and the pressure is on to make sure you have the best - even if you don't know your css from your html-bow!
Love them or hate them, websites are a 'must have' for community groups, whether you want to promote your cause, attract people to use your facilities, or just tell the world what you are up to. Unfortunately it is easy to get bewildered by the different servers, software and systems, particularly if you don't want to spend your days with your head 'under the bonnet' of your website...
With this in mind, we have designed web-packages for community groups and other voluntary organisations for low cost, easy presence on the internet. You can choose:
- a simple website, maybe just a few pages
- a dynamic website that you can change easily and quickly
- your own email addresses, with access from anywhere
