Nature And Landscape

#NTC NatureCityNorwich

NatureCityNorwich co-creates an ambitious community-led urban nature recovery action plan to connect and benefit nature, people and place. A comprehensive spatial map is co-created identifying heritage under threat, the city’s ‘nature gaps’, opportunities to develop safe and accessible routes to nature and new ‘doorstep’ nature-rich spaces. The plan gives a voice to, and prioritises communities most in need. All residents, community groups, asset owners, land-managers, contractors and influencers are listened to and included through extensive, inclusive engagement. Existing excellence is amplified and extended. New partnerships facilitate the establishment of blended finance models, nature-friendly maintenance and impact measurement methods. A plan of interconnected ‘pipeline projects’ is co-developed, creating the conditions for a truly sustainable and inclusive urban nature recovery network. The plan protects heritage at risk, creates extensive new nature spaces and improves community resilience, health and wellbeing across the city of Norwich.
