The Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Trust is a new charity so this is just the beginning of our story. We’re committed to supporting the best projects delivered by the best people and informed by the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Management Plan, local communities and environmental and heritage experts.
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 do this by:
- Supporting projects that help make our National Park more accessible
- Developing more information about accessible sites and attractions in the National Park and sharing 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 do this by:
- Helping to set up new projects and extend existing schemes that promote biodiversity along the coastal corridor
- Identifying and controlling 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 do this by:
- Supporting the Pembrokeshire Outdoor Schools partnership
- 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 do this by:
- Providing traineeships involving practical skills to support young people to gain access to employment opportunities locally
- Helping tourism businesses unlock the conservation potential of their land and provide training so they can play an active role.
