Beautiful landscapes where nature and people thrive together
Our Mission
Lead and champion activity, working with National Landscapes teams, to protect and restore the UK's most outstanding landscapes and make sure everyone can enjoy them.
Our Strategy
In order to achieve our mission we will focus on three strategic ambitions:
- Place: protect and restore beautiful landscapes - for nature and for people
- People: bring natural beauty into people's lives and give people a stake in natural beauty
- Partnerships: inspire and empower strong coalitions to deliver
It is the first strategy published by the Association since its rebrand in November 2023 - its first as the National Landscapes Association.
The strategy covers the time period up to and beyond the timescale of the UK government's commitment to the United Nations 30by30 target, to protect 30% of land and sea for nature by 2030.
