Volunteering

Why volunteer at the National Park?

The Peak District is a special place, the UK's oldest National Park, and is cherished by millions of people. As a volunteer for the National Park Authority you will be helping us to deliver our two purposes:

• conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage
• promote opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of the Peak District's special qualities.
