The rights of way are maintained by three Access Works' Teams of two peole each who carry out a diverse range of work including the clearing of new growth such as brambles and nettles, waymarking, constructing boardwalks, bridges, gates and stilesand opening up long-forgotten and overgrown paths for use. Wherever possible, the teams are careful to liase with local landowners and farmers to maintain a good working relationship and use their local knowledge.
