A consortium of leading environmental organisations across the North has joined forces to support nature recovery in what is the first known initiative of its kind in the UK working at such a scale.
Nature North has received £500,000 of funding between The National Lottery Heritage Fund and Esmée Fairbairn Foundation. The cash means the partnership can move forward with ambitious plans to ensure nature recovery can be a stimulus for future prosperity, people’s health and well-being and adaptation to climate change.
The aim is to bring together wide-ranging expertise from a range of bodies to develop key nature strategies for the whole of the north of England. The consortium includes Northumberland, Durham and Tees Valley wildlife Trusts, Northumberland National Park and the North Pennines and Northumberland Coast Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
