The Answer Is National Parks
Discover whyExtraordinary places, vital action
We are the 15 National Parks across England, Scotland and Wales. Together, we care for some of the nation’s most extraordinary landscapes, wildlife and heritage, and help people connect with them.
National Parks are living, working places, where people and nature can thrive, and communities come together to make a difference.
Each National Parks is incredibly diverse – not just in the landscapes they protect, but in the people, nature, heritage and stories that make them unique.

Access looks different for everyone. For some, it`s about removing physical barriers that make taking part difficult. For others, it`s about feeling welcome, having the confidence to get involved and knowing that there’s a place for you in the outdoors.
National Parks are for everyone. Across all 15 National Parks, programmes are helping people with a wide range of needs feel included, connected and part of their local communities – from children with complex needs to people with limited mobility.

In North York Moors National Park a project that champions both the community and insects is thriving. GrubsUp! has already planted native hedgerows, restored grasslands, created ponds and improved roadside verges so insects can move more easily between isolated pockets of habitat.
