How you can help the Three Peaks

To successfully look after the Three Peaks area of the Yorkshire Dales National Park we need to:

  • save the network of footpaths and bridleways for walking, cycling, horseriding and other recreational activities,

  • protect the wildlife habitats in this special area,

and

  • raise awareness of the importance of the peaks.

Doing all of this is a huge task but you can help! Here’s how:

Help us raise money to directly support our work:

  • Join the Friends of the Three Peaks to donate and gain access to practical volunteering opportunities;

  • Celebrate conquering one or more of the peaks by buying special branded gifts from our online shop;

  • Recycle your old printer cartridges and mobile phones with Recycle4Charity, choosing the Friends of the Three Peaks as your beneficiary.
    We will receive 50% of the recycling value for any mobile phones, £1 for each original empty inkjet cartridge or up to £5 per empty laser/toner cartridge donated kindly by you, friends, family or colleagues.

Come and visit the Three Peaks - responsibly!

  • When you visit the Three Peaks area, make it as sustainable as possible by using public transport and support local businesses. Stay local, shop local.

  • When exploring this beautiful countryside, use established paths and tracks to minimise damage to fragile habitats. Make sure you stay on paths, not straying off them to avoid a puddle or bit of mud and risk damaging the undergrowth next to the path.

  • If you are planning a large group walk or event, contact us early in the planning stage to discuss what you are wanting to do. See our ‘Organising large scale events’ page or email threepeaksproject@yorkshiredales.org.uk.
