Appendix 3 — Man­aging for vis­it­ors activ­ity – 2023 Ranger patrol reports

Dur­ing 2023 the Park Author­ity Ranger ser­vice piloted the use of a new mobile device record­ing sys­tem for gath­er­ing patrol data in the field which sub­sequently con­nects and uploads the data to the Park Author­ity GIS. Fur­ther work is required before this can be rolled out across the full fam­ily of ranger ser­vices so data from part­ner ranger ser­vices is con­tained in a sep­ar­ate table.
