This booklet aims to raise awareness of the proposed Foundation and its potential benefits among all who are interested in securing and shaping a positive future for common land in Britain and Ireland. We would appreciate your input and ideas for how best to take the Foundation from proposal into practice.
This report was commissioned by Natural England to provide an understanding of the extent, role and significance of pastoral commoning in England and to identify trends from which likely future scenarios can be predicted. The findings will be used by Natural England, Defra and others when considering environmental policies and the development of management schemes suitable for protecting public interests on common lands.
