Understanding Recreational Impacts on Lower Derwent Valley

Natural England wishes to commission visitor surveys to determine recreational disturbance impacts on the Lower Derwent Valley, away from the gateway sites, and in particular on more informal access routes. The visitor survey methodology should include questionnaires, and potentially also include methods to capture visitor counts at each survey location / access point. A report should be produced to detail findings, along with recommendations for management of impacts as required.
