L2. Encourage widespread take-up of Environmental Stewardship and other agri-environment schemes (so that at least 80% of the National Park is covered by agreements by 2010), so as to:
a) maintain and enhance the pattern and historic character of traditional field boundaries (drystone walls and hedgerows);
b) protect and enhance the mosaic of valuable managed habitats (hay meadows, pastures, rough grassland, native woodland and moorland);
c) maintain and enhance the pattern of traditional farmsteads, associated farm buildings, features and field barns, as well as individual or small groups of native trees, where they make a major contribution to landscape character.
Progress status: Green light shows this objective has
