Working with two "landscape engineers" and one landscape architect on a 200ha natural reserve, Knivsåsen, in the south of Sweden. We had to study and purpose a managment plan based on a 30 years minimum perspective. Explaining the different methods and the ecological interest, the different steps of its evolution (2,5,10, 20 years,...). Soft methods as grazing were prefered. Each managment zone as been described in a report, showing how we made the site more accessible for the public, protecting the most important ecological cores.
