Midlands Nature
Who we are
Midlands Nature is working to drive nature recovery in the Midlands through a shared vision, voice, and delivery programmes. We are a collaboration of partners who are looking to work beyond our sector to increase the scale and pace of this essential work for people, nature and the economy. Midlands Nature is a collective brand which enables us to deliver our shared ambitions at scale.
Midlands Nature is at an early stage of our development, seeking input from a range of stakeholders about how we can deliver outcomes which meet your needs. Charities, Government and Business all have a role to play in ensuring nature thrives in the Midlands. Together we can maximise on opportunities to create and fund programmes which deliver outcomes we all want to see, such as flood mitigation and creating beautiful places for people to live and work.
Why work together?
Common cause – we all recognize the urgent need to respond to the nature and climate emergencies, for the sake of the planet and all its communities
Collaboration – by working together we can achieve more than we can on our own
Cross-sector action – by coming together in a single brand and working in partnership with the Midlands Engine, we can attract new partners, seek new investment and deliver more for nature
Our shared vision
Seeing nature thrive
Healthy air, water and soil
People enjoying and benefiting from natural space
A local economy investing in a clean and nature rich environment
What Midlands Nature will deliver

- Large-scale programmes, which cross boundaries and pool resources, to capture carbon and support the recovery of wildlife habitats and species
- More cross-sector working and investment in nature and the environment
How we will do this
- Identify gaps where targeted action for nature can deliver big results for people and places.
- Create a suite of Investable Propositions – ambitious, large-scale opportunities for game-changing investment with measurable outcomes.
- Build strong relationships between public, private and third sector organisations seeking to make a difference. We will build relationships with buyers and investors – both traditional and new – in nature and climate resilience and connect them with suppliers who can deliver for them.
