Questionnaire – help us to manage our best-loved local landscapes.

The Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) is a single protected landscape split up into 12 separate sections - the finest of our coast, moorland, farmland, woods, rivers and estuaries. Designated in 1959 (this year is the 50th anniversary) it has the same status and protection as a National Park.

The AONB has a statutory Management Plan which describes how this precious landscape should be looked after. We are producing a new Plan to run over the next 5 years. We need as much local information as possible to make it the best possible document with maximum impact on policy makers and planners.

Please help us and take a couple of minutes to fill out this questionnaire.

Please indicate whether your response relates to the whole of the Cornwall AONB or just one particular section:
