THE RECHARGE IN NATURE FUND.
THE RECHARGE IN NATURE FUND.
The Recharge in Nature Fund supports locally delivered vital nature restoration, biodiversity, and wellbeing initiatives. These initiatives, one in each park, were identified by the Parks based on their unique needs and will enable the National Parks to progress their work faster and with lasting impact in these high priority areas. In 2023, the fund focused on four key initiatives, with six more progressing in 2024. In the final year, of the partnership, a further five initiatives will be supported.

OUR ACHIEVEMENTS SO FAR.
The Recharge in Nature team across the nation, which includes over 1,300 young people in Dartmoor and over 3000 youth volunteer hours delivered in North York Moors, has achieved some truly great results. These include 10 Dew Ponds created/restored in South Downs, 20,000 trees planted in Eryri, and the launch of a seasonal bus service (July to Sept) in Loch Lomond & The Trossachs, which has already welcomed over 3,000 locals and visitors.
