Nextdoor Nature Resources
Resources for England
This is a legacy page which remains in place due to the links that might point here. However, please visit the new Nextdoor Nature Hub where you can access all of this information - and more! - as webpages, as downloadable and printable PDFs, as videos with subtitles, and all with links to inspiring stories where you can read about how other people have taken action for nature.
These legacy resources below will open up as a new PDF which you can download or print. These guides have been produced with help from the National Lottery Heritage Fund, to provide people with the advice and support they need to help nature on their doorstep, and to leave a lasting natural legacy to mark The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.
