The March edition of the National Trails UK newsletter is packed with updates on how we’re making a difference for National Trails – from pushing for better funding to sharing new resources and upcoming events. Here’s a sneak peak of what’s inside:

  • Fighting for funding: We’re calling for an uplift to £5.4m in National Trail funding from 2026.
  • New Nature Recovery Toolkit: A practical, user-friendly guide to help deliver for nature on National Trails.
  • Coast Path Forum recap: Highlights from the first-ever in-person gathering of the coast Path Forum, bringing together coastal trail teams to share ideas, knoweldge and challenges.
  • Policy updates: We’re responding to the government’s Land Use Framework consultation to make sure access is part of the conversation.
  • Win £1,000 for your trail: A quick and easy way to nominate National Trail charities for unrestricted funding.
  • Dates for your diary: Webinars and Special Interest Groups on fundraising, data tools, and nature recovery.
