Annual Forum

Membership of the Forum, which meets once a year, is made up of all the bodies with an interest in, or role to play in, delivering the objectives in the National Park Management Plan. The Forum provides an opportunity for the Steering Group – and those bodies that are leading on particular objectives in the Plan – to report publicly on progress, and for wider engagement and challenge.

If anyone would like to be added to the contact list for these Forums, please send details to josie.wilson@yorkshiredales.org.uk
