Dorset Heaths Partnership

The Dorset Heaths Partnership was formed in 2001 as The Urban Heaths Partnership. Its ten partner organisations are:

Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Trust
Bournemouth Christchurch & Poole Council
Dorset Council
Dorset & Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Service
Dorset Police
Dorset Wildlife Trust
Natural England
National Trust
Forestry England
Royal Society for the Protection of Birds

Its aim is to alleviate urban pressures on the Dorset heaths brought about by new residential development in the area.

This is achieved by co-ordinated Strategic Access Management and Monitoring (SAMM) delivery, this includes an education programme, heathland species and visitor monitoring, and Dorset Dogs and Firewise projects. More information can be found on the Dorset Heaths Partnership website.
