"Making the quality of life better for people in the countryside and making the quality of yhe countryside better for everyone" |
- achieved through
analysis of quantitative and qualitative research, through practical
evidence from pilot and demonstration projects and by helping others to
adopt the lessons we learn. We provide financial support for projects to
help with conservation, recreation and social and economic development. We
also help government departments ‘rural proof’ their policies to
ensure that the impact on rural communities and people is properly
considered. We provide impartial advice to senior government Ministers.
And we have statutory duties, including designating National Parks, Areas
of Outstanding Natural Beauty and National Trails and opening up access to
mountain, moor, heath, down and common land.
