for an engaging and inspiring event exploring the vital work taking place to protect,
restore and enhance the Peak Districts iconic landscapes.
Through films, expert talks, discussion and a guided walk, discover how partners
across the National Park are working together to restore damaged peatlands,
support wildlife, and build resilient landscapes for future generations.
You’ll also learn about the devastating impact that wildfires can have on these fragile
environments and hear first-hand about the efforts underway to protect and recover
some of the Peak District’s most treasured places.

What to expect
Here from experts about their work across the National Park, and enjoy two short
films showcasing the challenges and successes of moorland restoration in the Peak
District, including inspiring stories of nature recovery, partnership working and
community involvement.
Following the screenings, there will be an opportunity to ask questions and join a
discussion with members of the Moors for the Future Partnership and Peak District
National Park Authority teams.
All films will be subtitled in English.
Guided ranger walk
Following the indoor session, A Peak District National Park Ranger will lead a guided
walk into the surrounding landscape.
Taking the conversation out into the landscape, you’ll explore how these remarkable
environments are managed and protected. Along the way, the Ranger, MFTF team
and the CEO of the national Park will share insights into the practical work
undertaken by partners to care for the landscape, work with local communities and
land managers, and respond to environmental challenges such as wildfire and
climate change.
