2020 – 2025 Partnership Management Plan
A message from the Chair of the South Downs National Park Authority, Margaret Paren
The South Downs National Park (National Park) covers
over 1,600km2 of England’s most valued lowland
landscapes shaped, over millennia, by the people who have
lived and worked here.The National Park is a diverse and dynamic landscape
cherished by many, yet it is a landscape under great
pressure. The South Downs National Park Partnership
Management Plan sets out how the Authority and its
partners will work to secure a positive future for this
nationally important landscape, its wildlife and the
people who visit it or call it home.The South Downs National Park Authority looks
forward to working with partners, both big and small,
and the communities of, and visitors to, the National
Park to bring this ambitious Plan to reality, ensuring the
South Downs National Park becomes an even better
home for both nature and people.Everyone has a part to play.
