Help preserve the future of Exmoor Fingerposts

Published on by Lesley WebbLeave a comment

Exmoor National Park Authority (ENPA) have launched a ‘Donate a Fingerpost’, inviting people to play a part in preserving Exmoor’s iconic landscapes and historic, locally and sustainably-made wooden signposts.

By sponsoring a new or replacement fingerpost along Exmoor’s Rights of Way, people can help everyone who explores the National Park, whether on foot, horseback, or bike, find their way and enjoy its beauty.

Ranger Charlotte Wray said:

“A lot of hard work goes into preserving our National Park. Rangers oversee 1000km of public paths and bridleways across Exmoor. Our locally made wooden gates, bridges and iconic signposts are all sustainably crafted by our field services team, from oak and chestnut harvested from our sustainably managed woodlands, in our Exford depot workshop. By sponsoring an iconic fingerpost you’re helping us keep Exmoor special for future generations.”

Each sponsored fingerpost will feature a discreet 50mm bronze plaque, showcasing the Exmoor National Park logo and CareMoor for Exmoor branding. Plaques can be personalised with a unique dedication, for a commemorative tribute or celebration.

Contributions to the appeal support CareMoor for Exmoor funding vital conservation and access projects across the park, helping to maintain paths, trails, and signage so everyone can explore and enjoy Exmoor.
