Peak District Biodiversity Action Plan

Taking Action for Wildlife Across the Peak District

Find out about Peak District wildlife, how we are conserving it, and how you can help

The Peak District's wildlife is outstanding, from the limestone White Peak with its flower-rich dales to the gritstone Dark Peak with its internationally important peat bogs and birdlife, and the South West Peak with its intimate mosaic of habitats.

But some of our species and habitats are under threat, so the Peak District Biodiversity Partnership is working together with you towards a healthy future for our wildlife.
