Welcome

Welcome to the South West Protected Landscapes Forum website. The site is being developed as a portal to information about the 2 National Parks and 13 Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONBs) that constitute the nationally designated landscapes of the south west region.

Discover what makes the south west landscape so special and how the AONB Partnerships and National Park Authorities are managing change to conserve and enhance the scenic south west.

This site is part of a national project working regionally with Protected Landscapes. For further information about Protected Landscapes in England and Wales visit companion websites:

The Development of this website has been supported by Natural England:

The Contryside Agency

 

 

 

SWPLF use the"Greener Events" guide as a tool to help reduce the environmental impact of conferences and seminars that we organise. The "Greener events" checklist has been developed by GOSW with Sustainability SW and others. We recommend it to all our network members.
