Guidelines for heritage assets in forestry management in the “Secrets of High Woods” project area

Tender description

The 'Secrets of the High Woods' project has produced a great deal of new information on the archaeology of the project area. Much of this is currently only available in technical documents and as GIS data – and needs to be available in an accessible format to add to the understanding of the forests already held by the estates and foresters. The National Park Authority now wishes to share this information with the estates and forestry managers, and work with them to develop “Guidelines for the wooded heritage assets in the South Downs National Park”. This guidelines should reflect nationally recognised but locally-owned expertise in the management of historic wooded landscapes, within a confident, commercial forestry environment. A successful supplier is therefore likely to need to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of both the historic environment and lowland forestry practise, and to demonstrate skills and experience in facilitation, engagement and dialogue.
