Appeal for care of the Peak District as spring officially begins - Peak District National Park Authority
As the UK begins its ‘meteorological spring’ on 1 March, organisations involved in caring for the Peak District are urging everyone to respect and take personal responsibility when enjoying the country’s original national park to help protect the area’s natural beauty.
Some of the Peak District’s most well-known attractions, charities, landowners, the police and the National Park Authority have come together in a collective call to encourage people to visit responsibly.
Ahead of the spring and summer season, they are keen to highlight how people can help care for the place they are visiting by reminding them about things like car parking, BBQs, camping, and visiting with dogs - especially as seasonal laws on Open Access land take effect.
Those involved say that visitors can take a few simple steps help to minimise the impact on this much-loved area that is important for people and nature.
Visitors can also help to reduce the pressures and challenges local communities, emergency services and other public sector organisations, charities and local businesses face during the peak visitor season by following straightforward guidance, advice and relevant laws.
