On a smaller scale, the Project is managing the land adjacent to the reservoirs, owned
by ESW, to promote biodiversity. The meadows and fen are managed through a
DEFRA Countryside Stewardship Scheme. Woodland areas are being managed
for wildlife with the help of a volunteer group established this year. This includes
coppicing, creating glades and hedge laying. Local residents make good use of the
public footpaths across the site, and the Project is keen to promote responsible
access and associated infrastructure.
All of these measures, and more, feature in the Catchment Management Plan, written
in 2005, which sets out the vision for the Lound Project and how it will be achieved.
