US EditionEaster fun with the National Trust across its Sussex properties and gardens
- The Garfield Weston Foundation is providing £5 million in funding to the National Trust for landscape-scale nature conservation projects, as reported by Rebecca Speare-Cole.
- This funding supports a three-year project, called Turning The Tide For Nature, aimed at boosting wildlife and tackling climate impacts across National Trust land, including tree establishment in sheltered valleys and cloughs in the Peaks.
- The project will cover approximately 4,164 hectares by 2028, an area similar in size to Portsmouth, focusing on areas like the Arlington Court estate in North Devon, the High Peak area of the Peak District, and peatland restoration in the Yorkshire Dales.
- Ben McCarthy, head of nature and restoration ecology at the National Trust, stated that the selected locations have huge potential to dramatically increase benefits for biodiversity and carbon capture at a landscape scale, while Sophia Weston, the Garfield Weston Foundation's deputy chair, emphasized the urgent need to help nature thrive.
- As part of broader National Trust ambitions to create 250,000 hectares of nature-rich landscapes in the next decade, this initiative also coincides with a campaign launched on March 20th to encourage people to immerse themselves in nature, with the National Trust aiming to plant four million blossom trees in appropriate places by 2030, according to National Gardens Consultant Pam Smith.
