Downlands Countryside Management Project
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Downlands Countryside Management Project is a partnership between several London and Surrey local authorities set up to manage an area of countryside of 130 kmĀ² across the south of Outer London, with four main aims:
- management of the rare chalk downland within the area;
- development of an extensive network of trails (including the London Loop);
- improvements to signposting; rights of way; woodland and pond management;
- running a programme of guided walks.
The Project is supported by the boroughs of Sutton and Croydon; and by Surrey County Council; the Corporation of London; the Surrey districts of Reigate and Banstead and Tandridge; and the Countryside Agency.
