In the charity's own words
We maintain the reserve as an SSSI following government guidance. Work to explain the geologically significant rock exposures and emphasise their significance to the community and schools. Ensure access for the benefit of geological research and field investigations. Promote the reserve as a public amenity and encourage conservation work, particularly engaging young people to collaborate.
