Nature Neighbourhoods is a
partnership project between
the National Trust, RSPB and
WWF, working with Sow the
Cityand 17 other community
organisations across the UK
and funded by the National
LotteryCommunity Fund and
the Co-op.
The project is a response to the calls in the People’s Plan
for Nature for Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs)
to facilitate communication and coordination between
relevant key actors to co-operate with a common purpose
and vision for nature. Sow the City focussed on the
delivery of this locally, through community co-design of an
action plan to protect and renew nature at neighbourhood
level - addressing community priorities, rather than the
superimposed priorities of others.
Our project is doing things differently. It is focussed on
the urban setting and there will be no delivery per se.
Instead, the project is about zooming out from the day-to-
day, and creating the time and space to develop plans,
capacity and ideas for tackling some of the biggest
challenges around nature and climate in the neighbourhood.
