3 Valuing nature’s benefits
We will work with more businesses to help them
recognise the true value of natural capital in their
processes. We will work with public health bodies to
ensure the ‘natural health service’ is available for everyone. We
will work with decision-makers in local authorities who can
influence the integration of natural green spaces within all
forms of new development.

By 2021

■■ 40,000 people attending events, courses & activities
■■ 10 new schemes integrating wildlife with development
■■ 2,500 people engaging in activities in nature to benefit

their health

4 Stronger partnerships
We will inspire more businesses, local authorities
and politicians to help with nature’s recovery
and to act with urgency. Nature’s recovery will
depend on BBOWT joining up with those able to make a
positive impact, as we’re doing with Thames Water and
The Parks Trust, among many others.

By 2021

■■ 150 partners working with BBOWT for
nature restoration

■■ 60 decision-makers making positive impacts
for wildlife

■■ All 21 of our MPs aware of nature’s needs and
people’s needs for nature in their constituencies

5 Build up our abilities
We will inspire our 130 staff and 1,450 volunteers,
giving them the practical support to realise their
full potential.
A new commercial approach to trading, ecological
consultancy and land management will bring in new income.

By 2021

■■ Even stronger financial base
■■ More diverse board of trustees
■■ Every member of staff and every volunteer empowered

to realise their full potential
