Understanding the purpose of designation and the need for sensitive management is crucial to the delivery of this Management Plan. The AONB Partnership, largely through the AONB Unit, plays a key role in raising awareness and providing information that encourages participation. Working with local communities in protection, enhancement and in decision-making, aids the preservation and awareness of the AONB’s special qualities.
