T
he Countryside Code, launched in July 2004 brought some important changes which affect how we are able to use the countryside. New areas are being made accessible to the general public, bringing new responsibilities as well as new rights.
As part of the campaign to raise awareness of the new Code, the Countryside Agency and Countryside Council for Wales are working with Farming & Countryside Education (FACE) in developing a series of educational resources. These are designed for use by teachers, youth group leaders and anyone involved in educating young people.
We began by finding out how young people feel about the countryside and how they use it. We also talked to teachers and youth group leaders to discover their own ideas about using the Countryside Code in their work. Their comments and suggestions are helping us put together an education pack that will be published during April 2005 in English and Welsh with separate versions for primary,
secondary and informal education use.
Contributions have come from a wide variety of groups within the RSPB, National Trust and the Church of

England. As well as providing advice and guidance in exciting and creative ways, the packs will contain photo cards, display material and other resources to help put the Code into context.
A series of newsletters will help to keep everyone up to date, and highlight ways of getting involved such as a national competition for 7-11 year olds. Janet Higginbottom, Farming and Countryside Education
