Why does the National Park need a Trust?

The National Park needs a Trust to address a growing challenge faced by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park of not having sufficient funds to protect and care for this truly special place, due to a sustained period of statutory funding cuts and ever growing environmental pressures. As a result in May 2018 a decision was taken by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority to invest and support the development of an independent charity to help care and protect the National Park.
