The aim of the Partnership

To manage the Don Gorge holistically through a multi-agency approach for the sustainable management of its ecological, social and intrinsic values.

Background to the Partnership

The Don Gorge Working Group was formed in 1999, as local individuals were concerned about the future of the Don Gorge due to lack of cohesive management.  A report was produced in 2001, outlining the recommendations for the future management of the Don Gorge.

The most significant recommendation to come from the Working Group’s report was the need for the organisations and individuals operating in the Don Gorge to communicate and work in partnership, in order to ensure a sustainable future.
