Traditional Boundaries - Traditional Skills : A project to help repair and conserve the traditional boundaries in Northumberland National Park and revive rural skills. Click here to read the latest project news.

Northumberland National Park's Traditional Boundaries conservation management plan showed that over 50% of the dry stone walls and 90% of the hedges in the area are in need of maintenance and repair. The aim of the project is to take action and develop a five year pilot rural skills apprenticeship scheme, which will train people in the management and repair of traditional boundaries and associated features such as gates, stiles and fences.
