  • Advance the education about the importance of the National Park, the wildlife within and the natural landscapes.
  • Advance the physical and mental health of the general public, including encouraging people to walk and take exercise within the National Park.
  • To promote, for the provision of the facilities for recreation or other leisure time on the interests of social welfare and with the object of improving the conditions of life.

We will do this by

Improving access to our great outdoors

We want to help as many people as possible of all ages and abilities to enjoy and experience the Pembrokeshire Coast’s amazing landscape. We will:

  • Support projects that help make our National Park more accessible
  • Develop more information about accessible sites and attractions in the National Park and share this with as many people as possible

Boosting biodiversity and conservation

We want to encourage individuals, organisations and businesses to pitch in to improve habitats and enable wildlife to thrive. We will:

  • Help to set up new projects and extend existing schemes that promote biodiversity along the coastal corridor
  • Identify and control Invasive Non Native Species (INNS) such as Himalayan balsam and Japanese knotweed across the National Park.

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.
