North Pennines National Landscape team

Staff team

The National Landscape team works to conserve and enhance the special qualities of the North Pennines and to work with others to produce, monitor and support the implementation of the Management Plan.

Guided by the statutory Management Plan, the team takes action to conserve and enhance the natural beauty of the area. The team acts as a champion for the area in matters relating to the conservation and enhancement of natural beauty.

The team is based in Stanhope, Weardale in County Durham.

We are currently working on a hybrid basis between home working, office, and on-site work, so the office phone line and answerphone may not always be monitored. If you’d like to get in touch, please use the contact information below.
