Landscapes, parks and nature
Since 1994 we have awarded £2billion to 4,700 land, nature and biodiversity projects across the UK.
Protecting the environment is one of our four Heritage 2033 investment principles.
We are prioritising landscape and nature projects that:
- support nature’s recovery
- deliver nature-based solutions to address climate change
- reconnect people to landscapes, marine environments and nature
