Together Now for Nature, Climate and People

Have Your Say on a Partnership Management Plan for the Future

The South Downs National Park is a unique and wonderful place loved and shaped by many people over time. It is home to inspirational landscapes, internationally important wildlife, rich habitats and cultural heritage, and lively market towns and villages.

The Partnership Management Plan is the most important document for the National Park. It is a Plan for everyone who has an interest in or cares about the National Park. The Plan is for the National Park as a whole and sets out the shared ambitions of many different partners for the next five years, including the work of the National Park Authority.

Our South Downs National Park needs all of us to deliver now for nature, climate, people and place.

This is your National Park. We need your input on our new draft vision and the seven ambitious, shared aims identified for the next five years.

This consultation will run from 9 June–1 August 2025.

Below you will find two surveys – one for the general public and one for partners/organisations.

Please let us know what you think and fill out the relevant survey below and share with you friends, colleagues and communities.
