1. Inspire local people to make strong links with their natural heritage and take an active part in protecting and enhancing it.
2. Reconnect broken links in the landscape, creating stepping stones and corridors for wildlife to expand and thrive.
3. To enable us to measure the biodiversity health of the landscape, assess the impact of our conservation work and increase our understanding of species and habitat ecology.
