The Slate Landscape of Northwest Wales

NOMINATION AS A WORLD HERITAGE SITEACTION PLAN, AUGUST 2019

The

Slate Landscape of Northwest Wales

NOMINATION AS A WORLD HERITAGE SITEACTION PLAN, AUGUST 2019

Introduction

The objectives set out in the Management Plan will be achieved by the implementation of a wide range of projects carried out by a variety of agencies, as presented in this Action Plan. Although projects may stand alone, each will contribute to the underpinning of the primary aims of the conservation of the nominated World Heritage Site and the economic regeneration of the area. Projects will be monitored and where appropriate managed by the Slate Landscape Partnership to ensure consistency with the objectives of the Management Plan.

Resourcing of this action plan will include individual projects run by stakeholders and collective initiatives. Some actions will also involve entering into agreements with organisations outside the Slate Landscape Partnership, such as tourism agencies and education authorities, in pursuit of shared objectives. It is recognised that the resources for wider strategic actions will in many cases require funding to be sourced from multiple organisations and sources. The Partnership will establish a preferred priority order for implementation of these actions, recognising that delivery will inevitably depend to some extent on the provision of resources by outside organisations. Annual and medium term budget plans for the resourcing of such central actions will be drawn up to guide fundraising efforts.
