Five-year plan for Peak District launched
The Peak District National Park Authority (PDNPA) has launched a new five-year action plan.
The new National Park Management Plan is an over-arching strategy document drawn up by the authority in an attempt to adapt to modern challenges and to improve management practices.
The report lists 86 targets for action which are set out to be achieved by 2011.
Top priorities include climate change and the authority is already restoring degraded peatlands – which store twice as much carbon as the world’s forests – through the Moors for the Future Partnership.
The authority will also host a major conference on the impact of climate-change in the Peak District and promote low-carbon technologies.
PDNPA is also looking to increase the level of support for young people and the elderly with a range of targeted activities including sports and conservation work.
PDNPA chair Tony Hams said: “The new Management Plan gives us the blueprint for the next five years to help address the demands of a rapidly-changing world.
“Together with local people, councils and organisations, we will strive to ensure the National Park is a thriving, healthy and welcoming environment.
We want to conserve and enhance nature, beauty and tradition, be responsive to changing needs and make sure as many people as possible can benefit from this special place.”
