Working with communities
Here at Radnorshire Wildlife Trust we work to support individuals and groups who want to make positive change in their community.
Nature needs us now more than ever. The scale of the task can often seem overwhelming, it requires policy change and work at a landscape scale. And whilst it can often feel out of our control, there are things that each one of us can do to make Radnorshire better for nature, ourselves, and our community. We must remember that people have power, especially when we come together, build momentum and act to make positive change.
We understand that not everyone is ready, able, or inclined to fundraise for community land or start a new community group. For those who are, we are here, ready to support them.
Nextdoor Nature is bringing communities together to help nature flourish where they live and work! Thanks to £5million 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.
Every one of us can make a difference to bring back nature and tackle climate change by taking small actions that add up to big changes. We're excited to support communities to do just this with the launch of Nextdoor Nature - a grassroots programme of transformational micro-projects designed to help nature thrive. Nextdoor Nature is a UK wide project between The National Lottery Heritage Fund and The Wildlife Trusts, here is Radnorshire we are working with communities in Llandrindod Wells, Knighton & Presteigne to improve spaces for nature and for people.
