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.
Save our National Parks
As we celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of National Parks in the UK, the truth is that these places are facing a host of challenges. Sign the petition and send our leaders a powerful message that National Parks matter.
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."

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.
