A line was drawn.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>On this date, 7,000 islanders of all ages came together in a peaceful protest organised by the National Trust for Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, major development projects posed a huge threat to sensitive coastal areas such as the Pl\u00e9mont headland. There was widespread concern among islanders that the approval of an inappropriate development at Portelet Bay would set a precedent and open the floodgates for other similar projects. Something had to be done.<\/p>\n<p>Islanders stood shoulder to shoulder and formed a human chain from Le Braye to just short of L\u2019Etacq to show that it was time to draw a line under the steady increase in inappropriate coastal developments in Jersey.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The people called for protection of the island\u2019s precious coastline. And the environment minister listened!<\/p>\n<p>Two years later, the Jersey National Park was officially endorsed by the States of Jersey, the island\u2019s government. Jersey National Park now covers 2,145 hectares \u2013 16 per cent of the island\u2019s land mass \u2013 and any development within it is strictly regulated.<\/p>\n<p>The team who manage the park want to preserve it so that it can be enjoyed in all its natural glory. Their message to visitors is: \u201cGo out and have fun!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The park covers around 30 miles of unspoiled beaches and headlands, steeped in history, rich in agricultural and natural diversity, and bustling with activities. In May, you can take part in Walk in the Park (a programme of guided walks), August is official Picnic in the Park month, and Custodians of the Park month is October.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Naturally beautiful It\u2019s easy to see that Jersey is an island of great beauty, but what you may not know [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6258,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2510","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-arts-culture"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.enjoyjersey.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2510","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.enjoyjersey.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.enjoyjersey.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.enjoyjersey.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6258"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.enjoyjersey.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2510"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"https:\/\/www.enjoyjersey.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2510\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2679,"href":"https:\/\/www.enjoyjersey.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2510\/revisions\/2679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.enjoyjersey.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2510"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.enjoyjersey.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2510"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.enjoyjersey.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2510"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
