About Bright Green Nature
What we do
Here at Bright Green Nature we believe that we are part of Nature. This connection is central to our values, if humans are part of Nature, then surely we must value and protect it? Sadly of course this is often not the case and through our actions, humans have and are, critically endangering our climate, our landscapes and our biodiversity.
BGN believes that we are connected with our environment and with Nature. This is something that we have forgotten as we moved away from traditional ways and towards more a more industrialised world.
Bright Green nature exists because we need it to. Sometimes it can be difficult to know what we can do about it.
We know that we can make a difference and we are making that difference already.
You can make a difference and BGN is here to help you do it.

Restoring our natural places
Our work centres around restoring and protecting our landscapes so that they are able to support native species, but also ourselves.
Restoring wetland areas for native species
Our wetland areas are some of the rarest and most threatened habitats in the UK. Often they are drained to provide extra space for agriculture or development. However, they provide shelter, food and breeding areas for some of our most vulnerable species, including native amphibians.
