Caring for Our Natural Environment (Churchill Fellowship programme)

Caring for Our Natural Environment is a Churchill Fellowship programme that supports individuals to protect, restore and enhance the UK’s natural environment. It funds projects that involve learning from international practice, developing new approaches and sharing insights to improve policy, practice and public understanding in the UK. Projects may address nature degradation, community engagement with the natural environment, equitable access, or changing land use and values.

Support to learn from international practice, develop new approaches, and share insights to influence policy and practice in the UK.

People working across farming, land management, conservation, planning, local government and environmental bodies, community groups, activists, practitioners, educators, youth workers, outdoor learning professionals, civil servants and policymakers; priority is given to those less likely to receive funding elsewhere and to applicants with lived or learned experience relevant to the work.
