Land and Water Management
Land and water in the Malvern Hills National Landscape is managed by a wide variety of people for a variety of different purposes, including growing food and timber, generating energy and supporting the recovery of nature. An increasing number of owners and managers are interested in management which delivers multiple benefits to people and nature. Land and water management is central to the conservation and enhancement of the natural beauty of the area.
