Our partnerships
We work with a wide range of organisations and groups to look after the National Park.
Our National Partners
The UK's 15 National Parks work with national partners through National Parks Partnerships. Our partners provide vital support to the National Parks family and help us to increase the understanding, enjoyment and valuing of our special landscapes.
Columbia Sportswear
The UK’s 15 National Parks are working together with Columbia Sportswear making Columbia the Official Outfitter to the National Park rangers and staff - the people who protect and promote some of Britain’s best-loved landscapes.
Demonstrating huge commitment to the National Parks, Columbia is outfitting upwards of 2,000 National Park staff including 300 rangers, providing high quality clothing that's "tested tough"™ and designed to keep them warm, dry, cool and protected in Britain's toughest conditions.

CLIF
The UK’s National Parks and CLIF are working together on ‘National Parks Protectors’, a scheme launched in 2019 which each year funds a series of major conservation projects taking place across five of the National Parks, as well as supporting the environmental protection of the remaining ten National Parks.
Find out more about this partnership on the National Parks UK website.
Forest Holidays
The UK’s National Parks and Forest Holidays are working together on ‘National Park Futures’, a six-year programme that will connect over 20,000 young people with nature.
Over the next six years ‘National Parks Futures’ will deliver at least 15 flagship education projects reaching 5,000 young people as well as covering the travel costs of an estimated 15,000 National Park visits for young people.
The aim is to inspire the next generation to care for and protect our precious National Parks, as well as improving their well-being through time spent in nature. Read more about the programme here.
