The Trust produces policies and forward plans to guide the work of its staff and volunteers. Policy documents deal with specific subjects or issues - for example, Conservation Principles or Telecommunication Masts - and are intended to achieve a consistent approach to the subject across the spectrum of the Trust's work delivering its statutory purposes of conservation, access, enjoyment and education. Property Planning translates the overall purposes of the Trust, its policies and other guidance into plans which take into account the unique circumstances and features of each property.

Policy Work
The Trust's policy work covers:

• developing policies to guide the Trust's work
