The National Trust is partnering with Plymouth City Council on a new green restoration project that will improve 390 hectares of land for people and wildlife.
Having secured £1.2m from the Government’s Green Recovery Challenge Fund, from September 2021 to March 2023, the Plymouth Natural Grid project will deliver cross-city nature restoration and enhancement, connecting wildlife sites from inner city to wider landscape – all while supporting access to natural spaces and increasing employment in the sector.
The Natural Grid project aims to:
- Improve 390 hectares of land for people and wildlife, including rewilding and nature conservation/restoration, access and interpretation.
- Create new jobs including apprenticeships and Kickstart placements, focusing on young people not in employment, education or training.
- Support short-term accredited learning opportunities for 95 young people.
- Provide 4 on-site nature engagement weeks in our more deprived urban areas, connecting 1,000 people with nature on their doorstep, and raising awareness of learning and employment opportunities.
We’re recruiting a team of Urban Rangers responsible for carrying out improvements across 13 protected sites and delivering skills, training and learning opportunities for young people.
