Our vision
We believe
- The natural world is valuable in its own right and is under threat
- People are part of the natural world and we depend upon it for our existence
- Everyone should have the opportunity to live in a healthy, wildlife-rich natural world
- It is vital that we work with others because we all have the power to make a positive impact on the nature and climate emergencies
Our vision
That Nottinghamshire’s people and wildlife are thriving together.
The Wildlife Trusts are calling for at least 30% of our land and sea to be connected and protected for nature’s recovery by 2030. 30% is the bare minimum that nature needs to start recovering but we are far short of this and need your help to turn things around.
To help us achieve these ambitious goals across the UK we want to inspire at least 1 in 4 people here in Nottinghamshire to take action for wildlife at home, at work, at school or in their neighbourhood.
Our long term goals in Nottinghamshire are:
- Creating a movement for nature
At least one in four people in Nottinghamshire to be inspired and empowered to take urgent action for nature and the climate in their daily lives, as individuals, at work and in communities, and their wellbeing will be improved because of it.
- Make space for nature
At least one-third of land and water to be made wilder, and the pressures reduced on wildlife everywhere else. This will be achieved through a ‘nature recovery network’ that plays a valued role in helping address local and global problems, and with abundant and diverse wildlife everywhere - through city, towns and countryside.
- That we are valued
We will be a thriving and sustainable organisation. We will welcome diversity and our passion and determination shine out in everything we do. We will value our stakeholders and they value us. We will lead by example by achieving a carbon positive position by 2030. We will embrace new ways to grow our impact, reach and expand our supporter base in order to generate a balanced and sustainable level of resources for our other goals.

Play your part
We know that we cannot realise our vision alone.
We will need to work closely with all our partners, from farmers to agencies, local authorities to businesses, and schools to individuals.
We believe that everyone can play their part, to put nature at the heart of our thinking and improve the health and wealth of our county
