Bigger, better and more connected

Find out how the North Pennines National Landscape team and the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority, worked together with farmers, land managers and gamekeepers, to:
  • improve water quality
  • enhance species rich hay meadows and grasslands
  • create and manage woodlands and hedging
  • restore peatland

Meet some of the farmers who worked with nature in Teesdale and Swaledale to connect these important areas of the uplands.

This programme was funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund with thanks to the Lottery players.
