£16M Access Mapping Project to map new access rights under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act (2000).
The five-year 'Right to Roam' project was designed to implement the Government's Countryside and Rights of Way Act of 2000 that granted a new right of access to open country and registered common land in England and Wales for walkers to enjoy.
Taylor successfully managed a team of Black and Veatch professionals who worked with the Countryside Agency to develop countrywide mapping and a system to maintain statutory maps in an electronic format.
The project team also assisted the agency in holding extensive public consultations.

"I am thrilled to be recognised by the APM with such a prestigious honour".
The APM praised Taylor for her effectiveness in managing a large team through the course of the challenging project and the high level of innovation used for developing new resource management tools and techniques.
