In addition to hearing about our achievements over the past year, you can also join in on the discussion about outdoor recreation on Cannock Chase, and help inform the preparation of recreation management policy.
Our new Management Plan (2025-2030) includes a commitment to prepare a Recreation Management Strategy for the National Landscape.
