Re: Volunteer Rangers
So you're taking land thats only used for unwanted activity anyway? How do you propose that this is prevented if it is claimed and regenerated?

By the installation of locked gates to prevent vehicluar access and styles, also we find that increased public awareness is the best deterent for this sort of behaviour.

Re: Volunteer Rangers
ok, well I'll get to see what everythings all about soon enough anyway, and I just had doubts about the Chelmswood estate thing as I couldn't find anything about it.

Can you clarify the name of the hill in Baxenden? I can only find information on Hameldon hill, not Hambledon... am I overlooking something?

The hill is named differently on maps from different dates so both name are applicable in this instance.

It won't be in Slaidburn - they already OWN Slaidburn

Re: Volunteer Rangers
The report isn't for a newspaper or anything Beechy, it's for the trust and I doubt it would be of any interest for you unless you were after obtaining the land yourself.

I dont see why people dont want to volunteer to help the countryside. Perhaps more would feel obliged if he had made the roles of litter picking and talking to the public the key focus?

Maybe you are actually being gullible ? I don't think I'm on my own when I say I still can't figure out who Chelmswood are, what they do or their purpose in life, and there's nothing in the public domain to tell me otherwise. Questions get answered with as little information as possible. The project that was first generated on here a few weeks ago has already changed name, in fact I haven't a clue which bit of land they are now trying to take control of

Why do these volunteers have to contact the original poster direct. How about he just puts up the name of the office people can get in touch with ?

No if we lock a gate to prevent cars accessing the land we are required to install a style in order to allow access by foot.

A style, its either a specialised gate or opening in a fence or wall which allows access by foot but is too small to allow access by car.

Thank you for spoiling my fun. He's a clever lad this Chelmswood. Odds on he's called Kyle, Shane or Wayne or something similar.
