Join our Lakes and Dales campaign

It is a crucial time in the LakestoDales campaign to secure National Park status for stunning areas such as Barbondale, Mallerstang and the northern Howgills.  

The ‘unfinished business’ of getting National Park designation for these outstanding areas has been delayed for over sixty years. We believe that this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to strengthen our National Parks and maximise the benefits they bring to local people, businesses and the future well-being of our society.

Extending the National Parks will be brilliant for the environment and for tourism but it will also boost the local economy - see our briefing on the economic benefits that designation will bring.

You have until 16 March 2012 to make your voice heard on this important campaign.
