The
'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty'
A significant recent development for Scilly's
environment was the establishment of the Isles of Scilly Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).
The AONB is administered by a Joint
Advisory Committee (JAC) that is comprised of representatives of the
partnership agencies involved in the AONB. These are the Isles of
Scilly Wildlife Trust, the Council of the Isles of Scilly, the Duchy
of Cornwall, the Countryside Agency, English Heritage, English Nature
and DEFRA (formerly MAFF).
The
Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust is pledged to work with its partner
agencies to protect the environment of Scilly.
The formation
of such a partnership will ensure close collaboration between the
various stakeholders to ensure that the management of the environment
is developed in an holistic way, while allowing the Trust to concentrate
on its key areas of land management and wildlife conservation.
