An explanatory website is under development to aid any groups planning educational visits. Local specialists are available to assist with these if required. The site is listed in the 'Forest of Dean Local Plan Review' as a Key Wildlife Site (KWS).

The Nature Conservancy Council designated the site an SSSI and undertook rehabilitation work. The Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust purchased the site in 1981. The Forest of Dean District Council provided grant aid.
