Annual monitoring statement
Each year, we will publish a monitoring statement which assesses how partners are progressing on delivering the 24 objectives set out in the Management Plan. The report for 2024/25 - the third year of the Plan's operation - is now available.

Protected Landscapes Targets and Outcomes Framework
In January 2024, the previous Government announced that future Management Plans and their reporting processes would be required to incorporate 10 standard targets and indicators around environmental improvements and access. A summary of how the current Management Plan helps meet these targets is available.
Locally apportioned targets
In the interim, three targets have been 'locally apportioned' with specific targets set for each National Park and National Landscape. They cover wildlife rich landscapes (Target 1), peat restoration (Target 7) and increasing tree cover (Target 8). Progress towards these targets will be delivered through the implementation of the current North York Moors National Park Management Plan.
Delivery and Monitoring Plan
The Delivery and Monitoring Plan has been produced to support implementation of the Management Plan. It proposes setting up a 'Partnership Delivery Group' to drive progress, along with a wider Stakeholder Forum which will meet annually to review progress. It then sets out a list of indicators that will be used to monitor each of the Plan's 24 objectives.

State of the National Park report
We have also published a 'State of the National Park' report for the year 2021. The report provides a ‘snapshot’ of the environmental, social, and economic ‘health’ of the North York Moors over time. It reports on the indicators in the 2012 Management Plan, and in effect ‘draws a line’ underneath this Plan which has now been superseded by a new Management Plan, for 2022 onwards.
