What is Nextdoor Nature?

Nextdoor Nature is bringing communities together to help nature flourish where they live and work! Thanks to £5million funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Nextdoor Nature will provide people with the advice and support they need to help nature on their doorstep, and leave a lasting natural legacy to mark The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Every one of us can make a difference to bring back nature and tackle climate change, by taking small actions that add up to big changes. Nextdoor Nature is encouraging communities to get involved with transformational micro-projects to help nature thrive and make the places where we live, work and visit greener - so that everyone can benefit.

We’re on a mission to create a wilder Leicester, where wildlife is thriving, and everyone benefits from a healthy environment.

We’re on a mission to create a wilder Leicester, where wildlife is thriving, and everyone benefits from a healthy environment. We want to see more wildlife-friendly areas and more people involved in taking action for nature. Nextdoor Nature, at Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust, will connect with people across the city of Leicester giving communities the skills, tools, and opportunities to take action for nature.

If you have an idea that will help nature thrive in your area, we want to support you! Ideas could be anything big or small, such as transforming a disused green space into a safe and attractive place to play, planting wildflowers for beauty and insects or start a community group that wants to create an urban wildlife safari across the city! Anything is possible when we work together.

Can't wait to get started?
