Doesn’t opening footpaths drive the wildlife away?
The Trust on the whole does not open new paths but maintains existing ones. Every attempt is made to consider the impact of the paths it maintains, balancing the needs for access against the effect upon wildlife. In fact paths through scrub and gorse often provide vital wildlife corridors for birds, mammals, insects and plants. However, if you think we are mistaken in our management of any particular path; do please get in touch so that we can review the situation promptly.
