Nature Connections
Thanks to a grant from the Green Recovery Fund we will soon be starting more work to improve our river and catchment and to connect even more people to this wonderful resource on our doorsteps.
The Aire Rivers Trust’s ‘Nature Connections’ project is one of the first environmental projects awarded a grant from the government’s £80 million Green Recovery Challenge Fund to help create and retain thousands of green jobs. The projects, spread across England, will see trees planted - 800,000 in total - and protected landscapes and damaged habitats such as moorlands, wetlands and forests restored, alongside wider conservation work. The projects will also support environmental education and connecting people with green spaces.
