Promoting outdoor learning
We want young people to reduce their screen time, get outdoors and discover the coastline, walks and woodland on their doorstep. We will:
- Support partnerships and projects like the Pembrokeshire Outdoor Schools
- Enabling more local children to benefit from outdoor learning and understand how and why our environment is so important and needs to be protected.
Supporting skills and jobs
We want to give people a chance to learn the skills that will equip them for a career in caring for the Pembrokeshire Coast. We will:
- Provide traineeships involving practical skills to support young people to gain access to employment opportunities locally
- Help tourism businesses unlock the conservation potential of their land and provide training so they can play an active role in keeping our National Park special.
Working together to protect the Pembrokeshire Coast
We can’t do it alone. We work with partners, landowners, businesses and community organisations. Together we are a force of nature; protecting our cherished coastline for the next generation.
