                                                      areas recognised for their wildlife value and will work with
                                                      partners to improve the wildlife value of land beyond
                                                      protected areas.

                                                                   We will make it easier for people from all
                                                                   backgrounds to visit and cherish their local
                                                                   nature reserves, green spaces and Living

                                                         We will build on successful urban projects in Oxford
                                                      and West Berkshire to connect with communities that are
                                                      traditionally less engaged in our work.
                                                         We will ensure more schoolchildren and young people
                                                      experience nature and wildlife.
