Heathland Monitoring: Regular assessment of progress is essential to establish the effect of management. As many features as possible from deer casualties numbers to key butterfly and plant species are monitored and recorded. Most of this work is carried out in-house but data on some items such as birds are recorded by the Ashdown Forest Bird Group and aspects of vegetation change by Natural England.
