Geocaching is a great new way of having fun in the countryside. It involves hunting out carefully hidden caches using maps and satellite navigation devices called GPS (Global Positioning System) receivers. If you find a cache (and some are very hard to spot!) there are often trade items in them that you can swap and a log book for you to record your visit.
Biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth. It is essential for sustaining the natural living systems or ecosystems that provide us with food, fuel, health, wealth, and other vital services. We can all act locally to make a vital contribution to the conservation of the Earth’s biodiversity. The Yorkshire Dales National Park is one of the most important areas of the United Kingdom for its rich and diverse wildlife.
Wherever we go and whatever we do, we have an impact. Make a positive choice to reduce yours and help care for the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
