As a National Park, we play a key role in influencing how the countryside is cared for and managed. Government guidance under the Environment Act 1995 highlights our responsibility to lead by example in promoting sustainable land use and environmental stewardship.
We embed the principles of sustainable development — balancing environmental, economic and community well-being — into all areas of our work. Every policy and action is assessed to help deliver positive outcomes for people, place and nature.
