EXPLORE AND LEARN ABOUT OUR UPLANDS
LANDSCAPE
The uplands and moorlands of England are home to half of the United Kingdom’s sites of scientific interest and a huge 74% of national parks in England are classed as a moorland or upland. Millions of people visit these areas each year. These landscapes hold tonnes of carbon within the peat making this landscape critical to the global warming crisis.
WILDLIFE
From a distance the uplands look relatively bleak and empty but when you start to examine them, spend time on them and look harder you realise they are a safe haven for many species of plants, birds, reptiles and mammals. These landscapes host an array of red and amber listed species in their most important time of year – Nesting season.
COMMUNITY
The uplands of England are often seen as areas of outstanding natural beauty with many upland communities dotted throughout. Such communities are best known for farming and working their local landscapes. These communities are woven into the landscape and rely on it for their income, wellbeing and way of life.
