WELCOME TO THE ASCENT PROJECT
United in Sharing Solutions
Led by local and environmental authorities in seven Northern European Areas of Natural Beauty, ASCENT is an environmental project rooted in access, education and sustainability.
Multi-region partners are collaboratively committed to address the critical environmental challenges associated with increased visitor numbers and unregulated access that their local upland areas and natural sites are threatened with – resulting in habitat damage and soil erosion.
Funded by the Northern Periphery and Arctic Programme (2014-2020) until 2019, under the priority objective for ‘increased capacity for sustainable environmental management’, the ASCENT project was born.
Marrying their collective experience to create new ways to conserve protect and sustain these wonderful sites without taking from the experiences they offer. ASCENT is a multi-region, multi-language legacy project rooted in collaboration, sustainability, conservation, international education and the power of communities working together.
