Working in partnership

Each National Landscape has a ‘joint advisory body’ or partnership that brings together representatives of organisations and groups with a major role to play in looking after the area. Each National Landscape has a staff team; as well as producing the National Landscape Management Plan on behalf of partner local authorities, the staff teams co-ordinate the work of others, and take action themselves, to ensure that our National Landcapes remain special for present and future generations to enjoy, as places to live and work and as places to visit.

Local people

Local communities, landowners, farmers and estate managers look after the living landscapes of the North Pennines. People and communities have helped mould the landscape for centuries and this continues today. Everyone who has an interest in the North Pennines National Landscape has a responsibility to care for this place.
