The hills and mountains of England are some of our greatest natural assets and are widely recognised as being internationally important for the range of wildlife habitats and species they support. The most comprehensive work to date on managing upland areas for wildlife, this was published by English Nature. The upland management handbook pools the expertise of many of the country�s leading wildlife, farming and land management specialists to provide a blueprint for translating policies into the practical delivery of the land management that will benefit our upland wildlife.

The upland management handbook has been produced to assist those people who advise farmers and other land managers in upland areas about the best management for wildlife and other natural features. It is applicable to all land in the uplands, and should be particularly helpful in the implementation of agri-environment schemes. In addition, the handbook will be useful for training and educational purposes, such as agricultural and ecological courses within colleges.
