This work relates to the enjoyment of the natural environment for all.

Our work involves providing quality places to enjoy the outdoors, and opportunities to participate in outdoor recreation activities. It includes the following areas:

  • Diversity Review and Action Plan - To investigate why some people are not able to enjoy the countryside and to explore how all sectors of the society can have equal opportunity to enjoy our natural heritage.   
  • Healthy Walking  - Our highly successful Walking the Way to Health Initiative to encourage more walking for health reasons.
  • To improve places which provide for countryside recreation such as Country Parks; to share best practice, including on the development of Greenways and Quiet Lanes; and leisure activities.
  • National Trails - National Trails pass through some of the most stunning and diverse landscapes in Britain. What is more you are never more than 50 miles from a National Trail.
  • Working in partnership with other sport, recreation, tourism and environmental bodies to share good practice, run seminars and undertake joint reearch.
