Doubling Nature in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough together
Natural Cambridgeshire is the Local Nature Partnership for Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. Our vision is to ‘double nature’ across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough by 2050.
We convene and facilitate the work of our members and partners: encouraging projects across sectors and communities to drive collective impact for nature and people.
As the conscience of the Doubling Nature Vision we build the understanding and partnerships needed to scale effective solutions and we showcase success. We draw upon expert advice and take an evidence-based approach in all that we do.
We are a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and receive support from the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority.
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Fund for Nature
The £1 million Fund for Nature is a revolving fund to deliver nature enhancements to help double the quality and quantity of rich wildlife habitats and natural green space, and improve access to them in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
