Countryside Management

We help to manage countryside sites ranging from small informal pocket parks such as Drovers Spinney in Shefford to larger sites with a range of facilities.

Clients include Sandy Town Council (which owns The Riddy Local Nature Reserve and Sandy Pinnacle and Recreation Ground), and Castle Close Wildlife & Heritage Site in Sharnbrook.

Many of our tasks are carried out by the Ivel Valley Conservation Volunteers – currently looking for new volunteers.

We are able to offer a comprehensive range of services including:

  • Community consultation and consensus building activities
  • Production and practical implementation of site Management Plans
  • Submission of funding applications
  • Funding advice and support with submitting grant applications
  • Organising and leading community volunteering events
  • Wildlife and heritage interpretation
  • Contract management
  • Green-space audits and enhancement proposals
  • Site access improvements
  • Practical assistance in organising and leading community volunteering events
  • Support in establishment of ‘Friends’ groups and volunteer wardens
  • Production and practical implementation of site Management Plans (including wildlife and heritage interpretation and habitat creation and conservation)
