An Invitation from Nature North


In February 2025, Nature North will launch a plan for Nature recovery for people and places across the North of England.They are currently consulting key people in the north (and nationally) as they develop their Strategic Investment Plan for Nature Recovery in the North of England and the team are looking for people to attend a focus group to shape the plan.

They are looking for participants for the next round of focus groups with a focus on engaging cross-sector with those working for people and places in the north, for example education, sport, tourism, arts and culture, heritage.

Nature North is a cross-sector collaboration for large-scale nature recovery in the North of England, involving more than 35 organisations from across the North including Government Agencies, Protected Landscapes, conservation NGOs, funders, business, farming organisations, health and civil society.

With its rich natural assets, strong identity and devolved leadership there is an opportunity for nature recovery to play a key role in a thriving North, and the region will be leading the way in setting out a pan-regional approach to nature recovery which will drive investment.

Nature North will use these online focus group sessions to create a shared vision that is representative of a diverse range of people and organisations from across the North of England, and identify actions for nature, people and places in the North.
 
Who should attend: Nature North believe that nature recovery can create a better North for people and place. 
 
More information about the sessions: Please only book on one session. Each session will be 2 hours, online on Teams, with multiple dates available. There will be a comfort break planned.
 
With your support and input, Nature North hope to:

  • Articulate a strong, shared and ambitious vision and actions for nature recovery in the North of England
  • Encourage cross-sector working and new partnerships
  • Share case studies that inspire positive action and enable more investment and funding
