Funding Programme to Help Young People Pursue Careers in Nature (UK)

Funding is available to help young people find paid work placements in the UK’s landscape and natural heritage sector.

The New to Nature Programme will provide work placements for around seventy young people aged 18 to 25 from diverse and disadvantaged backgrounds who might not have considered a career in nature.

The funding, which is made available by the National Lottery Heritage Fund in partnership with Groundwork UK, will cover up to 90%* of the salary and associated costs of full or part-time placements in nature and landscape organisations across the UK, with the aim of improving diversity and inclusion in the sector and creating a natural legacy to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Employers that wish to host a placement have until the 17th August 2022 to submit their expressions of interest.
