"By 2040 the North York Moors National Park will be a resilient landscape at the forefront of addressing climate change and nature recovery. It will be a biodiverse, beautiful and varied place..."
Quoted from our 2022-2027 Management Plan
Within our Management Plan we outline a number of objectives that we are working to achieve, alongside our partners, in relation to nature recovery and climate change.
Objective 1
The National Park should play a significant part in achieving the regional ambition of being a carbon negative economy by 2040.
Objective 2
Capture and store carbon by creating at least 2,500 hectares of additional wooded habitat by 2032.
Objective 3
Capture and store carbon by ensuring all degraded blanket bogs and peat habitats in the National Park are under active restoration by 2032.
Objective 4
Protect, restore and improve soils across the National Park.
Objective 5
Achieve good ecological status for all water bodies by 2027 and support the improvement of the marine and coastal habitat.
Objective 6
Create bigger, better and more joined-up habitats, with nature-rich wildlife corridors extending beyond the National Park boundaries.
Objective 7
Restore wilder and more naturally functioning ecosystems on at least 2,000 hectares in the National Park.
Objective 8
Work with our moorland community to support the sustainable management of moorland to ensure it retains its intrinsic character and supports a greater variety and abundance of species and habitats.
