This stewardship plan is a culmination of five years of discussions, illustrating (through maps, text and photographs) how the partners propose to allow Ennerdale to evolve as a 'wild' valley. This is not a typical 'management plan' with prescriptive targets and deadlines. As emphasis is on moving away from 'management' in the traditional, 'controlling' sense, this plan demonstrates the broader concepts for change in Ennerdale. Any boundaries on maps are indicative of what could happen, not what will, as nature is unpredictable. The plan will be regularly reviewed and updated as the development process unfolds. We welcome any feedback about the plan, please email Gareth Browning with your comments.
