Campaign for National Parks

Who we are

We are Campaign for National Parks, the only independent charity dedicated to securing the future of National Parks in England and Wales.

Our independence from Government means we can speak out for Protected Landscapes when no-one else can. Founded in 1936, we bring together a campaigning collective of organisations and individuals from all walks of life, united in common cause. Our first campaigns resulted in the creation of our National Parks. Now, inspired by our past, we fight for the future.

We want a world where nature and people are thriving in our National Parks, where wildlife is wild and natural beauty is protected for generations to come; where everyone, no matter their age or background, can access, feel inspired by and fight to protect the future of these truly amazing landscapes.

With National Parks at the heart of everything we do, we are here to unite, inspire and empower everyone to take action.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

WORK WITH US – FOR WILDER, INCLUSIVE NATIONAL PARKS

We are the only independent charity dedicated to securing the future of National Parks in England and Wales. Our independence from government means we can speak out for Protected Landscapes when no-one else can. Our mission is clear: we’re here to unite, inspire and empower everyone to take action and enjoy wilder National Parks. 

We recognise that the environment sector is under-represented by people of colour, those from low income backgrounds, LGBTQ+ and disabled people and we want to change that. So, we especially welcome candidates from these backgrounds and operate ‘blind recruitment’, following best practice in equality, diversity and inclusion. 

Work/life balance is really important to us and everyone in our team has a flexible working arrangement so that our work fits in with our lives. We offer: home working, support including an Employee Assistant Programme, and enhanced holiday allowance and pension contributions. Above all, by joining our team you can make a big difference – we’re a small organisation and everyone in the team has a big say in what we do and how we do it.
