I should imagine that would be the bare essential.
Regarding Phil's post and the word 'reasonable' - a landowner would be expected to look at his property at regular intervals, in this case, the Wildlife Trust, should be aware (as I am) that there are
signs that the public (local children ?) are using this area, yet no measures are in place to keep public out.
When the Forestry Commission harvest their trees or carry out any operation that may harm the public, warning signs are always in place.
It seems to me the Wildlife Trust are merely crossing their fingers which would not be a defence in law.
On the other hand, Wildlife Trusts or anybody else must be allowed to manage their land (in this case for the benefit of wildlife) how they want - BUT adequate safety measures should always be in place.
