North Pennines National Landscape team

What we do

The North Pennines National Landscape team works with others to take action to conserve and enhance this special place. Our priorities are

  • nature recovery – we are committed to working with farmers, land managers, conservation organisations and communities to protect what remains and restore what has been lost
  • helping people make an emotional connection with nature – as well as helping people to understand more about our natural heritage, we know that people who make an emotional connection with nature go on to take action for conservation
