Cumbria Local Nature Partnership is the prominent and unified voice for the natural environment in Cumbria. The Partnership supports strategic, efficient, and sustainable action for nature across the county and facilitates collective action to deliver high quality, connected habitats for nature, increase biodiversity, and support climate resilience/ adaptation across Cumbria.
The area covered by the work of the CLNP encompasses the entire county of Cumbria. This includes large areas of landscape designations such as the Lake District National Park and portions of the Yorkshire Dales National Park, and the Solway, North Pennines and Arnside and Silverdale National Landscapes.
The work of Cumbria Local Nature Partnership is overseen by the Partnership Board but we work strategically with a wide range of stakeholders who share our priorities including:
- statutory agencies
- environmental organisations
- local authorities
- national parks and landscapes
- representatives of farming and landowning interests
- research and educational institutions
- businesses, voluntary organisations and community groups
