Amanda Martin

I am deeply passionate about environmental conservation and community engagement, which is why I am eager to join the Peak District National Park Authority as an apprentice board member.  This role presents a unique opportunity to contribute to the preservation and enhancement of one the UK’s most treasured landscapes.

The Peak District holds a special place in my heart, as it is where I got engaged and where I am a regular visitor.  I feel privileged to be able to walk and explore its stunning scenery, especially with my Border Collie by my side.  These personal experiences have deepened my appreciation for the Park’s natural beauty and cultural heritage.

I am particularly motivated by the chance to work alongside experienced Authority members, learn from their expertise, and bring fresh perspectives to the table.  My commitment to sustainability, coupled with my desire to support local communities, aligns perfectly with the Authority’s mission.  I am excited about the prospect of gaining hands-on experience in governance and leadership, and I am confident that my enthusiasm and dedication will make a positive impact on the Authority’s initiatives.
