Nextdoor Nature project

Thanks to £5 million funding across the UK from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Nextdoor Nature provided people with the advice and support they needed to help nature on their doorstep, leaving a lasting natural legacy to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Here in Somerset, we worked in collaboration with local communities based in Yeovil and Taunton, to identify forgotten spaces that could be used to invite nature back into our urban and residential spaces!
