Landscape Management Services and Plans: Effectively maintain your land

What is Landscape Management?

Landscape management is an environmentally based approach of ensuring that land is cared for in an effective and sustainable manner for all present and future users. This is to make sure that a landscape is kept in a proper, functioning condition in order to support land uses.

Proper management and maintenance techniques are vital to the long term care of landscapes, gardens and parks. If these methods are not put in place, the landscape can be put at risk, which can lead to higher costs in the future.

When performing landscape specific services, Collington Winter carefully considers the characteristics, history, and potential of all sites to ensure that we provide the best possible care to landscapes and the surrounding environment. We aim to provide an extensive set of landscape management services for landowners to ensure that the landscape’s values and features are protected for years to come.

Landscape management plans

Landscape management plans can be created by experienced ecologists to ensure that a landscape is maintained accordingly. The aim of a landscape plan is to set out a long term vision for the landscape and to provide environmental methods in order to achieve this goal.

The first step of a landscape management plan is to complete an initial site survey (Phase 1 Extended Ecology Survey) alongside further desk top studies. These surveys will help to assess the landscape’s current condition as well as any species or habitats that have been identified in the past.

Using this information, a detailed landscape management plan can be formed. The landscape plan will often state specific mitigation and management methods that will be required for protected species and habitats of conservation value.

The landscape management plan will also include when and how the outcomes of management methods should be monitored and how the results should be used to guide future management of the landscape. Each plan is site specific, and the content of each plan will vary.

We create a variety of management and maintenance plans for our clients. These include management plans and day to day maintenance schedules for open space, grassland and woodland plans, BREEAM ecology plans and reports and biodiversity plans.
