Join Us Today

National Parks belong to all of us. They are places of adventure, nature, inspiration and escape. By becoming a Friend, you’ll help make sure they remain protected and accessible for generations to come. From the towering peaks of Eryri and the Lake District to the windswept tors of Dartmoor, with our Friends’ help we’ve been protecting National Parks for 75 years.  

None of this would be possible without our Friends. Your support gives us the independence to stand up for National Parks in England and Wales when no one else can. When Government and decision-makers attempt to damage or undermine National Parks our job is to stop this. Backed by support from our Friends we’ve changed laws, helped create new National Parks, connected thousands of people with nature and stopped damaging legal decisions in their tracks. 

By joining us as a Friend, you’ll become part of a growing movement working towards a future where National Parks are wilder, climate resilient, accessible to all and home to thriving local communities. National Parks have an exciting and vibrant future; we hope you’ll join us as a Friend to be a part of it.
