Minutes:
The National Trust are planning to install a fence to secure and protect a 15km boundary of moorland later in 2025 on Derwent and Howden Moor. The project will support conservation, landscape management and ecological restoration in the region.
The Forum queried whether the fence will be removed when the project is finished, and that the access points across the fencing on Rights of Way should be maintained.
Action: The Peak District LAF to contact the National Trust regarding removal of the fencing once the project is complete. Any comments to be sent to Mike Rhodes who will pass on to the National Trust.
Andy Farmer, PDNPA Ranger Team Manager, is retiring at the end of February, and this is his last PD LAF meeting. Sue Fletcher, Head of Landscape and Engagement, and CEO, Phil Mulligan, were present to thank Andy for his long years of service, his contribution to the Authority, and for being a champion for access.
