Nature needs urgent, united action — and the Big Chalk Nature Recovery Fund is stepping up. Covering 20% of England’s chalk and limestone landscapes, this new capital grants programme supports bold, practical projects that restore and reconnect habitats under pressure from climate change, pollution, and fragmentation.
Grants range from £1,000 to £75,000+, with flexible support for habitat restoration, species reintroduction, and landscape-scale collaboration. Open to farmers, landowners, conservation groups, and local authorities — with no fixed deadline, but projects must complete by March 2026.
