Wild Park Management Plan 2012 to 2022 This management plan has be complied following extensive local consultation where the overarching management principals received support from 69% or more of those who responded

The main aims of the management plan are to a) Minimise landscape impact to ensure the natural appearance of Wild Park is kept. b) Improve public access and enjoyment of the park for quiet recreation (including maintaining the current mix of formal and informal paths). c) Take full account of all aspects of the ecology of the park and ensure that all the key habitats and species of importance are conserved (including regular monitoring). d) Expand and improve the links between the habitats under particular threat, such as species rich grassland (including maintaining the previously cleared areas by grazing).

Under this plan The area of species rich grassland will be increased to 20% 70% of the area will remain as scrub and woodland. 80% of the park will remain unfenced (with fenced areas typically being on the steeper less accessible slopes)
