Jane Mason Chairman

The Pembrokeshire National Trust Association is in 2023 celebrating 25 years of learning about, and supporting, the Pembrokeshire National Trust. We have over 250 members from all over Pembrokeshire and our members do not have to be National Trust members. We enable our Association members to learn more about the beautiful places the National Trust look after in the County and better understand the challenges they face. We provide opportunities to meet other members through a programme of events,  through which we learn more about the Pembrokeshire environment and heritage and encourage social interaction.

To date our Association has raised more than £50,000 through our activities and this money has been used to support many National Trust projects throughout Pembrokeshire. If you have recently swung on the lovely large tree swing in Stackpole Court, that was one of our donations!

Why we were founded 

The National Trust plays a significant role in maintaining the natural beauty of Pembrokeshire. It owns almost 9000 acres (3663 hectares) of land which includes over 60 miles of the spectacular Pembrokeshire Coast. However it only has one building in the County open to visitors, the Tudor Merchant’s House in Tenby, which is small compared to the grand Houses in its ownership elsewhere. Local National Trust Management felt that  it lacked a focus for members living in the County. Its solution was to found the Pembrokeshire National Trust Association (PNTA) in 1998.

“The Association’s objects are to promote and prosper actively the work of the National Trust (registered charity number 205846) and in particular in Pembrokeshire and to promote social activities to make membership of the National Trust more enjoyable.”

Membership

In 2014  membership was opened to anyone who was interested in participating in our Events programme. Our annual membership fees are modest at £5 for an individual and £8 for a couple.

Association members can join in an interesting programme of talks, events, visits. They also receive a twice yearly newsletter with updates on National Trust work in Pembrokeshire and also more up to date news through a regular digital mailchimp

PNTA is run by its own elected Committee and is independent of the National Trust. However both organisations are fully supportive of each other. We welcome new members and would love to hear from anyone who feel they could help us in our Association activities.
