Nature Neighbourhoods – Co-Designing Nature in Keyham

See how 150 Keyham residents partnered with national conservation bodies to create a community-led nature restoration plan, improving local health and environmental resilience.

Introduction
As part of a national partnership with the National Trust, RSPB, WWF, and Coop, we supported community-led nature improvement in Keyham, Plymouth.

Our role
We worked with residents, local organisations, and strategic partners to create a shared vision for bringing more nature into the neighbourhood.

What we delivered

  • Engagement with 150 residents, 15 organisations, and 20 young people
  • A co-designed plan for nature restoration, aligned with city-wide strategy
  • A national media campaign raising the profile of community-led approaches

Impact
The resulting blueprint gives communities in Keyham a practical plan for greening the neighbourhood, improving health, and building resilience for both people and nature.
