“The creation of national parks almost 70 years ago changed the way we view our precious landscapes - helping us all access and enjoy our natural world. We want to make sure they are not only conserved, but enhanced for the next generation. Are we properly supporting all those who live in, work in, or want to visit these magnificent places?

But I have come, reluctantly, to the conclusion that Boris cannot provide the leadership or build the team for the task ahead.”
