Description

CNP is the only national, voluntary sector organisation dedicated to National Parks.  CNP is an umbrella of nearly 40 environmental and amenity groups across England and Wales.  CNP aims to give the voluntary sector a shared vision and voice on all National Park issues.

     To secure protection for National Parks and to demonstrate their importance

     To increase the number and range of people who know and care about National Parks

     To secure the best possible new National Park for the South Downs and to campaign for other areas to be included in National Parks

     To lead and strengthen the National Park movement
