Nature-rich National Parks for everyone
We are the only independent charity dedicated to securing the future of National Parks in England and Wales. Our independence from government means we can speak out for Protected Landscapes when no-one else can. Our mission is clear: we’re here to unite, inspire and empower everyone to take action and enjoy wilder National Parks.
Stop the cuts
We’re campaigning to end the destructive cuts to National Park budgets in England. Tell your MP to Stop the Cuts.
Don't bulldoze National Park protections
Join our campaign to stop the UK government’s new Planning and Infrastructure Bill weakening the planning protections that keep our National Parks safe.
Beautiful and thriving landscapes
We're passionate about National Parks. They're a stunning patchwork of habitats, countryside and communities which capture the diverse beauty of the landscapes in the UK.
"National Parks exist as a place where anyone can go and enjoy the countryside; an essential right we can’t afford to lose."

Organisations represented
I only learnt what a National Park was last year. Since then, I’ve been to four National Parks so far and plan to get round to them all. For me, a National Park is a glimpse of the wider world and the wonders of Mother Nature. My ambition is to enable others like me to be able to experience going to National Parks.
