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.
Clean Water Now
Right now sewage, farming pollution and toxic chemicals are choking rivers, lakes and seas. This year is make-or-break for England’s rivers, wetlands and coastlines, with an upcoming water law providing a once-in-a-generation opportunity to finally clean up our waters. We’ve joined with over 40 organisations – collectively representing more than 9 million supporters – to demand Clean Water Now.
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.
"I think it contributes a lot to mental health in a way being out in National Parks, and being out in the green spaces has also meant a lot to me growing up"

National Parks should be for all. I’ve never been to one before this and I think it’s an incredible place. There’s so much potential for more nature-rich landscapes and I think in order to get that we have to have everyone involved, everyone coming and visiting and appreciating it.
