Home to some of the best limestone pavements in the country, brightly coloured patches of grassland wildflowers, and extremely rare flowers, our great mountain lies in a truly unique and special landscape. In fact, it’s estimated that Ingleborough and the surrounding landscape is home to a third of the UK’s plant species. Species which in turn provide places for butterflies and birds to rest, feed and find a home.

Our work to tackle non native invasive species

Be spellbound by wildlife this season!

The Living Ark Project focused on four important species: tansy beetle, greater water parsnip, willow tit and narrow leaved water dropwort.

YDCP has been managing Invasive Non-Native Species (INNS) in the Derwent catchment since 2019.
