    Abstract

    In this report, a vision for ecological networks in Cheshire County is developed and presented. This vision is developed in close interaction with the County Council. The vision contains a proposal for sound ecological networks of meres and mosses, heathland, rivers, woodland and grassland. A standardised method is presented and applied, integrating the following information in the scenario: demands for different ambition levels for sound ecological networks; abiotic potencies for ecosystems in the County; the opinion of key stakeholders; future developments in infrastructure and urban planning; opportunities for nature development. According to future developments and information, the resulting scenario can be adjusted easily with the information provided. In the report also information for further refining the scenario is provided
