We are aware of recent media coverage regarding diversity in the countryside. We have not had any contact with the sources of that media coverage, and do not recognise the sentiments they portray.
The Glover Review, published in 2019, highlighted the importance of ensuring that everyone can access and enjoy protected landscapes. The Malvern Hills National Landscape works to support this aim by helping ensure the countryside is a place that all visitors can enjoy. For example, we have recently been improving accessibility on the public footpath network by replacing stiles with easy-to-use pedestrian gates.

More than 7700 native trees and shrubs have been planted in recent weeks on 6 hectares of land at Mosewick Farm, Suckley. The saturated ground has played havoc and huge thanks are due to the contractors who battled on to do the planting and to the landowners for their commitment and support.
Woodland creation schemes of this size are unusual in this area which is already pretty well wooded. However, this brilliant project links 2 existing and important areas of mature, ancient woodland, increasing the area of woodland habitat and providing a physical link between them for local wildlife.
This work was funded by the Forestry Commission as part of the England Woodland Creation Offer which includes provision over the next 15 years (if necessary) to maintain the wood, including replacing any failed trees.

For the strong of thigh, we’ve given a grant to #malvernhillstrust to install bike racks in their car parks. When the snowman has melted, we’re sure the bicycles will be tethered.
