Overview

Our policy team influence local and national policy and plans on a range of issues, topics and causes that affect the landscape. This includes responding to calls for evidence and consultations, and speaking with relevant stakeholders, communities, and policy and plan makers. We also work with like-minded organisations and groups to help maximise our impact.

This work informs our wider campaigning, engagement and events, enabling us to push towards our vision of thriving Cumbrian landscapes – for nature, for people, for ever.

Landscape is a big topic, so we focus our work on those areas where there is the greatest scope to influence change such as:

• Dark skies and light pollution
• Common land
• Water
• Transport
• Climate change
• Overhead wires
• Access
