The National Park Authority is required to prepare and keep under review a Management Plan for the area to deliver the statutory objectives of the National Park (our National Park Purposes and Duty). The Plan is for the National Park as a whole and involves many organisations and people, and so is called a Partnership Plan.

It describes the special qualities of the National Park and sets out:

• The opportunities and challenges facing Exmoor
• A long-term vision, ambitions and objectives, reflecting the Government’s vision and priorities for all National Parks, and demonstrates how Exmoor can help deliver these
• Bold targets to focus partnership action on over the five-year timeframe of the Plan and beyond.

Following an extensive Public Opinion Survey (PDF) conducted in 2023, detailed evidence gathering, published in our State of the Park report (PDF) and consultation with key partners and stakeholders we have now published a DRAFT Exmoor National Park Partnership Plan 2025-2030.
