## Notice

The MEOPL Framework of indicators was established in 2012 as a partnership between Defra, Natural England, National Parks England (NP, the National Association of Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (NAAONB) and Historic England, supported by the Forestry Commission and Environment Agency. The core aim of the programme has been to provide protected landscape bodies with reliable national data about aspects of the natural and cultural environment to inform their management planning, annual monitoring, and work programmes. The data supports a set of indicators tailored to the criteria used to designate and shape the role of National Parks and AONBs. These data help to provide trend information which can be used to inform contributions made by all parties who have an influence on landscape conservation and enhancement within protected landscapes. The method for the MEOPL Framework is described in the NE report NERR055 (published 2014) available for download at: http://publications.naturalengland.org.uk/publication/5646437593382912
