Nature recovery projects to receive £150m National Lottery funding

Projects that aim to boost nature recovery and “back the people who make landscapes thrive” will receive a share of £150 million from the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

The organisation said the money will reach about 20 large-scale projects across the UK as part of a new decade-long initiative, called Landscape Connections.

The funding will focus on Britain’s protected landscapes, including national parks and national landscapes in England and Wales, areas of outstanding natural beauty in Northern Ireland, and national parks and other areas in Scotland.
