Nextdoor Nature 2022-2024

Nextdoor Nature ran from 2022-2024 but its legacy lives on and will continue to bring communities together to help nature flourish where they live and work! The project was made possible thanks to £5 million funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, which provided people with the advice and support they needed to help nature on their doorstep, and it has left a lasting natural legacy to mark The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Thousands of groups across the UK have been supported by Nextdoor Nature, and hundreds more are continuing the work in Wildlife Trusts up and down the country. Find out more by following the links below.
