Raising Our Game - Game Review
Raising Our Game is the report generated by a Game Conservation Survey undertaken between 2005 -2007. The Game Conservation Survey was born out of the need to gain greater understanding of all aspects of game management within the AONB combined with the advent of the Sustainable Development Fund (SDF).
If we are to preserve and enhance the natural beauty of the landscape within the AONB, then we must understand the forces that have shaped it over the last millennium and which continue to drive changes in the landscape now and in the future. All the land in the AONB is privately owned so we must work together with land managers and the wider community to gain an understanding of how game and its management are sustaining landscape character and identify areas where game management requires assistance to remain sustainable.
