Our funding can help transform rural and urban landscapes across the UK. From public parks to cemeteries, from wildlife habitats to endangered species, from bees to seahorses, all have been helped through our funding for land and biodiversity projects.
Our investment has helped to conserve and recover some of our most threatened habitats and species. We are making major contributions towards the delivery of UK Biodiversity Action Plan targets through projects delivered by our
Heritage Grants,
Young Roots and
Your Heritage programmes.
Our innovative
Landscape Partnerships programme helps conserve areas of distinctive landscape by delivering conservation benefits at a landscape scale as well as helping people learn about and access our unique countryside.
Our
Parks for People programme has seen more that 500 public parks including urban parks, country parks, squares, gardens and promenades rejuvenated. Our investment has helped bring about a renaissance of the UK’s public parks making green spaces more accessible, attractive and safe, and bringing social, environmental and economic benefits to communities.
