Community Purchases
Reclaiming Wild Spaces for Your Community
Natural World Fund is here to empower communities to acquire, restore, and protect local green spaces together. We work alongside communities to ensure lasting benefits for wildlife, nature lovers, and future generations.

Why Work With Us
Fully Registered Charity
We are a fully registered UK charity (Charity no. 1214498). Our sole aim is to protect and restore wildlife, working with communities and local partners to do so.
Community Wellbeing
By helping communities purchase and restore these areas, we can enrich biodiversity and provide open-air havens that support wellbeing, creativity, and local pride.
Impact at Every Level
These are not just nature projects — they’re community-led transformations that foster social cohesion, environmental education, and cleaner, richer local ecosystems.
How It Works
1. Community Inquiry
You get in touch with details of the at-risk green land and we will see what we can do to help.
2. Feasibility & Funding
We assess the land’s viability and help communities access match funding, grants, or fundraising platforms.
3. Acquisition & Restoration
Once acquired, we guide habitat restoration—planting native trees, creating meadows, enhancing biodiversity.
4. Community Stewardship
We empower local organisations to collaborate in the management of the land.
5. Share & Promote
We provide success stories, media exposure, and project updates to celebrate community wins.
