Committing land to the People’s Park for Nature
Why commit your land?
Pledging your land means joining a movement to restore and celebrate nature. The People’s Park is a mosaic of spaces—privately and community-owned—united by a shared commitment to rewilding, boosting biodiversity, and building resilience to climate change. By contributing, your land becomes part of a vibrant, interactive space where people connect with nature and regenerate habitats for future generations.
Whose land qualifies?
We welcome all outdoor spaces, big or small—rooftops, gardens, school grounds, ponds, parks, woodlands, farms, and more. If you own a space, we’d love to hear from you.
What does a commitment to the Park involve?
Land is committed through a free and non-binding voluntary agreement. By signing our Charter, you agree to a set of principles that foster collaboration, education, and nature-based initiatives. As a member, you’ll join a supportive community, share best practices, and have voting rights on the Park’s direction. You can opt out anytime by notifying us.
How will the People’s Park for Nature community support landowners?
Landowners can expect guidance, collaboration, and shared resources from a supportive network of like-minded individuals. We plan to create opportunities to exchange best practices, access expert advice, and participate in collective initiatives like rewilding projects, species reintroductions, and habitat restoration. In time, we hope members will also benefit from organized events, educational workshops, and connections to volunteers or local groups eager to help. By joining the People’s Park for Nature, landowners become part of a movement that empowers and amplifies their efforts to restore and celebrate nature.
What does ‘Access for all’ mean?
One of the key elements of the Charter is the concept of ‘access for all’. We ask all landowners within the Park to explore ways of encouraging more people to connect with and enjoy nature on their land. This is always done in consultation and must align with the primary needs of both the land and the landowner. For instance, a large landowner might create a permissive path or a picnic area for a month, a garden owner could host an open day, or a window box owner might add a sign inviting people to smell flowers or pick tomatoes. Offering public access will be flexible and voluntary. This is designed to foster a sense of community — even in small or occasional ways — without compromising the needs of the land or its owner.
What does nature restoration mean?
One of the key elements of the Charter is the concept of ‘nature restoration’. This involves bringing degraded or damaged ecosystems back to health by creating thriving habitats that support wildlife and benefit people. This includes reintroducing native species, restoring natural processes like water flow and soil health, and regenerating land to boost biodiversity. These efforts will foster resilience to challenges like climate change while connecting people to nature and ensuring ecosystems can flourish for generations to come.
