Task

To prepare a report identifying the state of the AONB environment as a baseline for subsequent AONB condition monitoring.  We worked with the Countryside Training Partnership on this project.  Download Cannock Chase State of the AONB Report

Process

We sought and assessed data for a range of indicators that would help to measure the condition of the AONB up to 2010.  The study is the first of a regular condition monitoring programme intended to link with reviews of the AONB management plan.

Benefits

  • The AONB has a baseline assessment that could be updated easily in subsequent reviews
  • The study identified data gaps and priorities that inform future research programmes
  • The State of the Environment Report will guide the implementation of the AONB Management Plan
