Vote for a great cause: The Yorkshire Three Peaks Route

Pen-Y-Ghent: the distinct profile of this peak

Live for the Outdoors readers will soon have the chance to pick their favourite conservation project from a selection of four worthy contenders. The winner will receive a cash award from the European Outdoor Conservation Association  - a group of businesses in the European outdoor industry that have come together to raise funds for conservation and promote care and respect for wild places. Voting will open early next week at www.lfto.com/conservation, but in the meantime we’ll be introducing you to the organisations that want to win your vote. First up, The Yorkshire Three Peaks Route project…

Why you should vote for The Yorkshire Dales Three Peaks Route
The Three Peaks is a fantastic area for walking with a lot to offer, but heavy use is causing significant damage to the internationally important peat habitat of Black Dubb Moss and Horton Moor. This project is an opportunity to restore the wildlife habitat in the area and create a better route, both excellent outcomes. By completing this missing link and promoting the new link as the best way of completing the challenge, the Three Peaks walk can become an environmentally sustainable walk. Your support will help bring this project to fruition and secure this iconic challenge for the future.
