National Parks Partnerships

The fifteen UK National Parks cover c.10% of Great Britain, attract 104 million visits a year. These iconic landscapes are a national treasure and a vital natural resource. 119 million tonnes of carbon are stored in peatland in National Parks; the equivalent of one third of the UK’s entire Co2 emissions for a year*. But like many natural habitats and species that rely on them, it is threatened.

The UK National Parks work with partners and landowners to conserve and enhance nature, wildlife and cultural heritage in England, Wales and Scotland; and provide opportunities for everyone to access nature for their wellbeing, whilst working positively with local communities.

National Parks Partnerships brings companies, investors and environmental funders together with the National Parks and the National Parks Foundation, at a national level. We identify and collate projects in need of support and create bespoke corporate partnerships aligned to businesses ESG strategies to deliver them.
