Six new landscape scale projects will support nature recovery in England and improve habitats for wildlife. The projects will be supported with £7.4 million funding from the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra). The projects will also help manage flood risk, improve access to nature, and protect endangered species.

The nature recovery projects are:

• East of Eden, Cumbria
• The Lost Wetlands, Cheshire to Lancashire
• Tees Estuary Recovering Nature, Northumbria
• Heathlands Connections, Surrey
• Bradford and South Pennines, Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire
• Seaford to Eastbourne, Sussex and Kent
