Our achievements : Natural heritage

  • Lottery players are one of the biggest groups supporting the UK’s natural heritage with more than £600 million helping to safeguard our landscapes and parks, countryside and creatures.

  • £200 million is helping to sustain 1000 nature and conservation projects.

  • £380 million has been awarded to restore 245 historic parks ranging from urban and country parks to public gardens, squares, promenades and historic cemeteries.

  • More than half of these parks are in deprived areas.

  • We have funded projects to help species at risk including water voles, red squirrels and basking sharks.

  • Our support for heathland habitat protection and recreation has enabled English Nature to achieve over 80% of the Government lowland heath restoration target.
