Our Impact

The Exmoor Society has had some extraordinary successes since it was founded in 1958

We work continuously to protect Exmoor’s unique landscapes, wildlife and heritage. From campaigning and research, to events, awards and outreach. We support local livelihoods and new businesses with our Pinnacle Award for young entrepreneurs, preserve Exmoor’s history through our archive, and provide opportunities for people to explore, better understand, and care for the National Park.

Our aim is to care for the scenic beauty, rich wildlife and historic heritage of Exmoor. Ensure Exmoor’s landscapes are passed on to future generations in as good or better condition than they are now;
Encourage people to appreciate our National Park – everyone has a right to enjoy Exmoor’s magnificent landscapes

Explore. Protect. Understand.

The Exmoor Society's walks, talks and events will bring you closer to Exmoor and what makes it so special.

Join us year-round for inspiring events – from expert talks and open days to family scavenger hunts and our Spring Conference. Discover Exmoor's landscape, history and nature in exciting new ways.

In the news

Progress for our campaign to regulate pet parasiticides

Last month, The Exmoor Society was the only national park society to submit evidence to the House of Lords Environment and Climate Change Committee's inquiry into pet parasite treatments. We were therefore delighted to see that the inquiry's final report urges the government to ban the general sale of these treatments and restrict availability to vets, pharmacist's and qualified professionals.

The Exmoor Society Archive goes mobile

We are hugely grateful to the National Archives Community Engagement programme, whose funding enabled us to commission eight display cases for the safe and professional presentation of archival material.

Exploring the Molly Goodland donation

This month we hear from archive volunteer, Janette Beattie, who explores a recent donation from the family of local author, Molly Goodland.
