National Access Forum for Wales

Purpose

The National Access Forum for Wales' (NAFW) primary purposes are to help Natural Resources Wales and the Welsh Government to:

improve the quality and extent of access to the countryside and coasts of Wales
extend the opportunities for enjoyment and responsible outdoor recreation to all

Membership

In pursuing this goal, the NAFW recognises the close inter-relationship that exists between access management and the overall environmental, economic, social and cultural well being of our rural communities.

The NAFW has nearly 40 member organisations representing a wide range of interests which includes:

representatives of landowners and managers
countryside access user groups
public bodies and
voluntary sector organisations

Though it has no legal status, the level and range of representation of its members means it can influence policy development.

Meeting dates

Natural Resources Wales administers and chairs the Forum and all meetings are open to the public.

Next meetings:

July 2023 (date and location to be confirmed);
7th November 2023 (online)
5th March 2024 (online)
