Our successes 

As well as being instrumental in the creation of the National Park movement, the Campaign for National Parks has been responsible for a number of major successes, which have been achieved with the help of many of our partners and supporters.

 

Significant highlights include:

 

  • The South Downs joining the National Park in 2010 and the New Forest in 2005
  • Withdrawal of damaging road-building plans in the Peak District National Park
  • Renewal of a special fund to underground electricity lines in National Parks
  • ‘Mosaic’, a groundbreaking programme to engage ethnic minority communities in National Parks
  • Intrusive quarrying in the North York Moors National Park refused in a test case that set the tone for future Government policy 
  • National Park Authorities set up as independent authorities following a successful Parliamentary campaign
