The Liberal Democrats plan to establish three new national parks in England, potentially in locations like the Chilterns, Mendips, Cotswolds, and Quantocks.

This initiative would increase the total number of national parks in England to 13.

The party has committed to an annual allocation of £50 million for the maintenance of both new and existing parks, as well as to plant 60 million trees each year.

Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey criticized the Conservatives for not fulfilling their promise to create a new national park, emphasizing the importance of protecting natural spaces and communities.

Labour has announced plans for three new national forests and a ban on bee-harming pesticides, underscoring the significance of green spaces for communities and the environment.

A YouGov poll suggests the Liberal Democrats could secure 48 seats in the upcoming General Election, with Labour expected to win by a landslide and the Conservatives projected to secure only 140 seats.
