Full Description: The Yorkshire Dales provides an important habitat for many species of plants, birds, mammals and reptiles. Many of which are scarce nationwide and have been identified in the UK as priorities for conservation. The Yorkshire Dales National Park is many species last stronghold.

A popular activity in the Dales is Bird Watching and Curlew, Lapwing, Red Grouse, Skylark and Oystercatcher are frequently spotted. The Yorkshire Dales is one of the best places to see breeding waders such as lapwing, curlew and snipe. There are also many mosses, lichens, and flowering plants in the Yorkshire Dales and it is also one of the last habitats in the UK for the nationally rare Red Squirrel. The Yorkshire Dales National Park is the front of the campaign to stop further decline in the Black Grouse.
