This short online course sets the scene for the wider topic of upland path management. The course will look at the characteristics of an upland path and the factors which can cause or contribute to upland path erosion. We will look at the erosion cycle and understand how contributing factors accelerate erosion impacts. The course covers key path intervention types introducing routine maintenance, reactive repair and new construction and how to recognise the most appropriate approach.
The course will also look at the regulations, legislation and assessments to consider when planning upland path work. Finally, participants will be directed to key resources and sources of advice and information to support the upland path management process.
While the course is most suitable for those who have little or no previous experience in assessing or developing paths in upland areas, it can also be used as a refresher.
