Membership

The Yorkshire Dales Access Forum (YDAF) was established by the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority in 2002.

The Forum consists of 18 members (plus, currently 1 co-opted member) each representing various interests in the land.  The members have been chosen to provide a balanced representation of:

• Owners and occupiers of access land and land crossed by rights of way
• Users of Rights of Way or the new right of access
• Other interests relevant to the area such as tourism, transport, nature conservation, Access for All, volunteering and health.

Members are appointed by the Authority to the YDAF for three years and cover a wide range of interests. Two to three members of the YDAF are also members of the Authority.

If you are interested in applying to join the Forum, you will need to download and complete a copy of our application form.  Interviews will take place in December.  For more information and an application pack, please email the Access Development Officer.
