GENERAL ACCESS GUIDELINES

• Where walks cross private land, try to establish and maintain good relations with the landowner. Access problems should be handled in a non-confrontational manner and with due respect for the rights of those who live and work on the land.

• Accept the need for restrictions for valid conservation or land management reasons (e.g. erosion, seasonal bird nesting, deer breeding, tree felling ). • Liaise with other organisations active on access issues. Keep them informed on any access issues encountered on walks.
