Local community action often goes unsung or unseen but is vitally important in conserving our environment and improving daily life. In recognition of this, our Communities Project Fund financially supports individuals, groups and organisations that strive to make a difference.
At this year’s February Ambassador event, we’ll be looking at how some of these local groups and organisations help connect people with nature to benefit biodiversity, our communities, and the landscape.
About this event
- An update from the National Landscape team, will provide the latest updates on our commitment to nature in the National Landscape and our approach to working in partnership for sustainable communities and the recovery of declining wildlife and habitats.
