Nextdoor Nature Lottery Fund

Imagine stepping out of your front door to birds singing, walking along streets full of flowers, or sharing locally-grown food with your neighbours in a community garden. We know that having nature on our doorsteps is not only good for our physical and mental health, but also helps us better connect to each other.

Nextdoor Nature is bringing communities together to help nature flourish where they live and work! Thanks to £5 million funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Nextdoor Nature will provide people with the advice and support they need to help nature on their doorstep, and leave a lasting natural legacy in honour of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Nextdoor Nature projects are here to support communities in

The Somer Valley and BS1 and BS5

who want to create space for people and nature on their doorstep.
You can read more about the projects so far on our Nextdoor Nature Blogs and find out more about the specific projects in each area by clicking below.

• We are collecting stories for how the Nextdoor Nature project has impacted communities in BS1 and BS5. If you would like to be part of this, please contact Stephanie.sharkey@avonwildlifetrust.org.uk
• Work has begun on ideas for  community-led wildlife projects in the Somer Valley! If you would like to keep up to date on this project, sign up to our newsletter and we will be in touch.
