Project summary

Norfolk Coast Partnership (NCP) supported communities to create and carry out their own nature recovery plans.

Background

NCP delivered a series of workshops in partnership with Norfolk Wildlife Trust. These covered a broad range of ecological topics to give residents the hands-on skills needed in nature recovery work, such as pond restoration, species identification, hedgerow improvement, greening schools, etc.

Objectives:

  • Create empowered and engaged communities
  • Support local nature initiatives
  • Maintain improved connectivity within and between communities
  • Develop improved evidence, data collection and recording

The project awarded £20,000 of small grants funding to community projects, allowing communities and organisations to put their new skills into action, and £40,000 of funding to capital works that identified priorities within the nature recovery plans.

This project, which was informed by policy, research, and industry best-practice, put equity of access at its core and strove to engage with diverse audiences.

This project was completed in June 2023.
