Database

An additional resource with more than a hundred management measures classified by habitat, function and type. Whether you are a consultant, student or farmer/landowner this database will provide you with practical solutions applicable to the management of your land.

Use the three filters to browse through the numerous measures, selecting those most relevant to your work. This will give you access to summary sheets that provide a brief introduction to the action, followed by a description and an explanation of why it is important to implement it in order to achieve ethical and sustainable estate management.
