Our impact
We’re proud to look back on an extraordinary year of impact in the Yorkshire Dales and beyond in 2024 - from record numbers of young people joining our rural apprenticeship scheme, to working with farmers and communities to support nature in our woodlands, meadows and wetlands. Of course, we cannot do this alone. It’s only with the continued effort, energy and dedication of our incredible community of supporters, staff, volunteers and partners that we can achieve our aims.

Our impact in 2024-25
The Yorkshire Dales has a distinctive character, landscape and heritage that inspires millions of people. It is also a landscape that is evolving and ever changing, with a vital role to play in tackling the climate emergency.
YDMT's purpose is to bring people together to care for, enhance and appreciate the unique qualities of the Yorkshire Dales and surrounding areas. In 2024 we continued to do that through a range of diverse and inspirational projects that help to create habitats for our wildlife, tackle climate change and connect people to nature. We also launched a new Three Year Strategy centred around building partnerships and enabling others to deliver with us.
Our annual impact report is an opportunity to reflect on achievements and challenges over the past year and put the foundations in place for a year of action ahead. We recognise there are areas where we can do better, where we need a bigger and a more joined up approach to tackle the challenges facing our area. That’s why we will continue to build partnerships that bring a diverse range of people together to get stuff done for the Dales.
