Statement from the Chief Executive

“National Landscapes teams are thrilled and proud to be part of Generation Green. This generous investment from UK Government will enable us to take a significant step forward in our mission to bring amazing experiences in National Landscapes to even more young people. Two thirds of the population of England lives within half an hour’s journey time of their nearest National Landscape, being able to connect and enjoy these treasured places on their own terms will give them a genuine stake in their future. We cannot wait to begin work on Generation Green, working with our partners in the Access Unlimited coalition to ensure that more of our young people have the chance to connect with the nature, culture and wonder of their nation.”
