Achieving the right upland solutions requires knowledge, understanding, and a commitment to work together by all the key actors. This project represents an initial exploration of how the farmer’s upland habitat management knowledge and experiences might be developed.

There were three primary objectives:

1. To develop and evaluate an upland Habitat Management Education1 module for farmers.
2. To explore the mountain’s landscape and cultural heritage (geography, archaeology,
   placenames, living memories and folklore).
3. To devise mechanisms for sharing the area’s natural and cultural heritage with the
   broader community.
