One of the first tasks the Hertfordshire LAF considered was the Countryside Agency's draft 'Open Country' maps. Since then they have also been involved in the RoWIP (Rights of Way Improvement Plan)
The LAF isl also consulted on:

- Proposals to appoint wardens on land where the new right of access applies
- Byelaws affecting access land
- Long term restrictions and exclusions of access
- Rights of way improvement plan implementation

The detailed work programme is determined by the LAF itself. However, while the Forum will need to deal with all forms of access, in general it will advise on strategy and planning issues and it is not expected to get involved in specific casework or individual routes.
