Lake District National Park Shoot

By 22nd February 2018Projects

Lake District National Park Shoot. During the month of May this year Skylark Aerial Photography provided the aerial filming for the film shoot of the Lake District National Park Rangers to promote the new brand outdoor clothing from Columbia Sportswear.

The short film is just short of one million views.

The shoot was over three days. Skylark used both the Inspire with X5 and the Mavic for woodland, crag and water shoots. All in all over 15 hours of aerial filming took place during the three days.

 

Columbia has committed to outfitting upwards of 2,000 National Park staff for five years, including 300 rangers, providing high quality clothing that’s ‘tested tough’ and designed to keep them warm, dry, cool and protected in Britain’s toughest conditions.

Rangers and staff are entrusted to conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of the National Parks for all who visit. Their efforts range from rebuilding mountain paths to repairing river moorings, and from leading guided walks to educating school children and community groups about the great outdoors. And they undertake much of this work in some of the wettest, most challenging weather in the world.

Columbia will outfit National Park rangers and staff with several performance pieces, including the OutDryTM Extreme ECO Jacket.

The UK’s 15 National Park’s exist to conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of their protected landscapes, and to promote opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of the national parks by the public. The Broads has additional responsibilities to manage its waterways. The Scottish national parks also have a purpose to promote sustainable use of the natural resources of the area.  Within England and Wales, in pursuing these purposes the National Park Authorities have a duty to seek to foster the economic and social well-being of local communities within the national park.

The 15 organisations that look after the UK’s National Parks are the guardians of some of Britain’s most precious and best-loved landscapes. Park authorities have a wide range of responsibilities including conserving wildlife and historic features; improving access; providing education, volunteering and outreach programmes; delivering planning; and helping visitors to make the most of their time in the Park.
