# Practical resources to get started Having investigated the three roles of local authorities (acting as a [landowner](https://accesstoland.gitbook.io/makingfarmlandwork/i.-acting-as-an-owner-and-manager-of-public-land), [facilitator](https://accesstoland.gitbook.io/makingfarmlandwork/ii.-acting-as-a-facilitator-of-the-local-land-system), [regulator](https://accesstoland.gitbook.io/makingfarmlandwork/iii.-acting-as-a-regulator-and-making-local-land-policies)), you are perhaps looking for some practical resources to get started with the land work. This section provides additional tools from a variety of sources, in particular: * Ideas and summaries to [take your first steps ](https://accesstoland.gitbook.io/makingfarmlandwork/practical-resources-to-get-started/some-key-principles-and-first-steps) * Surveying and [decision-making tools](https://accesstoland.gitbook.io/makingfarmlandwork/practical-resources-to-get-started/surveying-and-decision-making-tools) *New material will be added in this section as the Access to Land network continues to engage with local authorities and to co-develop or adapt practical tools to make farmland work for the public good.
