For at least half a century since the emergence of Country Parks
and Forest Parks, countryside services have provided leisure,
tourism, conservation, restoration and regeneration across Britain.
Yet these services are currently being decimated as public services
are sacrificed to the new era of austerity. The role and importance
of countryside management have been barely documented, and the
consequences and ramifications of cuts to these services are
overlooked and misunderstood. This volume rigorously examines the
issues surrounding countryside management in Britain. The author
brings together the results of stakeholder workshops and
interviews, and in-depth individual case studies, as well as a
major study for the Countryside Agency which assessed and evaluated
every countryside service provision in England. A full and
extensive literature review traces the ideas of countryside
management back to their origins, and the author considers the
wider relationships and ramifications with countryside and ranger
provisions around the world, including North America and Europe.
The book provides a critical overview of the history and importance
of countryside management, detailing the achievements of a largely
forgotten sector and highlighting its pivotal yet often
underappreciated role in the wellbeing of people and communities.
It serves as a challenge to students, planners, politicians,
conservationists, environmentalists, and land managers, in a
diversity of disciplines that work with or have interests in
countryside, leisure and tourism, community issues, education, and
nature conservation.
