I'm a farmer or landowner

If you are a farmer or landowner in Chiddingly Parish and have a project idea to support and restore nature on your land, then please contact us by email. We can put you in touch with our farmers' network and see if we can identify suitable funding sources.

I'm not a landowner but I'd love to help

There are other ways you can get involved. One is by volunteering. We will be looking for volunteers during summer 2025 to help tackle the spread of invasive species including Himalayan Basalm along our waterways. We'll also be working on pond restoration projects in the Jubilee Field and Community Orchard. If you'd like to know about volunteering opportunities, then please drop us an email.

The other way is by donating to Greening Chiddingly. We have secured the funding needed to carry out our baseline eDNA survey, but will require support for repeat monitoring in 2025. If you are able to donate, no matter how small the amount, please contact us by email.
