LlyG has been invited to meet with the Glastir development team on the 21st Oct to discuss provisions for funding permissive access in the new woodland management scheme to be launched in 2013. This is important as it will determine whether you will be able to obtain fundng for footpath and track work over the next few years. Find out more here.

Thanks to everyone who sent me information about this. The meeting last Friday went well in that we were able to come up with a procedure taht shouldn’t be too difficult to manage if you want to use Glastir Woodland Management for access/footpath work. As soon as you decide to apply for Glastir and are thinking about footpath work you should register your wood on VisitWoods to indicate you are inviting people to use your woods. Then when you apply for Glastir they should be able to fund access work in your woods.
