| About English
Nature, its staff and objectives |
| English Nature is the
Government funded body whose purpose is to promote the conservation of
England's wildlife and natural features. We achieve this by taking action
ourselves and by working through and enabling others. Our main duties and
powers have been given to us by the following Acts of Parliament: |
|
 |
|
National Parks and Access to the
Countryside Act 1949 |
|
Countryside Act 1968 |
|
Nature Conservancy Council Act 1973 |
|
|
Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981
(amended 1985) |
|
|
Environmental Protection Act 1990 |
|
|
Countryside and Rights of Way Act
2000 |
|
|
| We are governed by a Council
whose Chairman and Members are appointed by the Secretary of State
for the Environment and, as at 31 December 2004, we employed over 950 permanent staff. |
|
| We work closely with
the Joint Nature Conservation Committee, Scottish Natural Heritage and the
Countryside Council for Wales for a consistent approach to nature conservation
throughout Great Britain, and towards fulfilling our international obligations.
