Description

Natural England was formed by bringing together English Nature and elements of the Countryside Agency and the Rural Development Service.

Natural England works for people, places and nature to conserve and enhance biodiversity, landscapes and wildlife in rural, urban, coastal and marine areas. We conserve and enhance the natural environment for its intrinsic value, the wellbeing and enjoyment of people, and the economic prosperity it brings. We promote access, and recreation and contribute to the way natural resources are managed so they can be enjoyed now and by future generations.

To do this, we support individuals and organisations in actions that will benefit the natural environment and increase opportunities to make it an enriching part of people’s everyday lives.  We promote sustainable solutions to environmental problems to increase the social and economic value of the natural environment, and bring together those who influence and shape our environmental future to improve its long term security.
