"We are excited to see what the future holds and its a huge thanks to Sow the City and this project."

Creating a people’s plan for nature for Newton Heath
The project is a response to the calls in the People’s Plan for Nature for Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) to facilitate communication and coordination between relevant key actors to co-operate with a common purpose and vision for nature. Sow the City focussed on the delivery of this locally, through community co-design of an action plan to protect and renew nature at neighbourhood level – addressing community priorities, rather than the superimposed priorities of others.
Our project is doing things differently. It is focussed on the urban setting and there will be no delivery per se. Instead, the project is about zooming out from the day-to-day, and creating the time and space to develop plans, capacity and ideas for tackling some of the biggest challenges around nature and climate in the neighbourhood.
