Partnership Members
The Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape is all about partnership. We cannot achieve our primary purpose ‘to conserve and enhance natural beauty’ on our own.
26 organisations work together to care for the National Landscape. This Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape Partnership is coordinated and supported by the National Landscape team.
The Joint Advisory Committee and Partnership work to a set of agreed guidelines which are available to download (PDF).

The National Landscapes Association
The National Landscapes Association provides a strong voice for its members, the UK's 46 National Landscapes.
As a national charity, they support the UK’s network of National Landscapes. Helping them to be as effective as possible. By bringing local teams and partnerships together, they create greater collaboration, unlocking progress towards our shared vision.
The Protected Landscapes Partnership is a collaboration in England between National Landscapes Association, National Parks England, National Trails UK and Natural England. The aim is simple: to build on our pre-existing collective activity to do more for our cherished, protected landscapes together than we would be able to do apart.
National Landscape Awards
The David Wood National Landscape Award aims to recognise and highlight the achievements of individuals, groups and organisations that have made an outstanding contribution to conserving and enhancing the Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape.
With the first award presented in 2021, this will become an annual award scheme. Award winners will receive a framed copy of a linocut print created by local artist, Jem Seeley, and produced by Drab Ltd featuring the Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape's iconic species, the Redshank.
It is important to recognise the hard work and amazing contributions that people are making to improve the National Landscape, so it is better for wildlife, communities, and visitors.
The recognition of this annual award will hopefully inspire others to get involved in the Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape to ensure its outstanding landscape, wildlife, heritage and culture is protected for all to enjoy.
