The project will co-create a community-led urban nature recovery action plan, placing nature and people at the heart of Norwich’s future. It will map and address the city’s ‘nature gaps’, improve access to green and blue spaces, and empower communities to shape a more resilient, biodiverse and inclusive city.

This role offers the chance to make a genuine impact on people’s lives and the environment, working in a supportive, forward-thinking charity committed to restoring nature. You’ll play a central role in a flagship project for Norwich, helping making it a City where people and nature thrive.
