Nature Recovery Research Project winners announced

We’re delighted to announce the first four winners of our recent call for research projects.

The Centre recently launched a call to fund 3 month inter-disciplinary projects in the field of nature recovery. The entries were all of an extremley high calibre, and we are pleased to announce the winners. The purpose of the funding is to kickstart short research projects which:

• Expose researchers to the challenges and opportunities of working in a cross-discipline environment
• Gather early data and approaches to addressing thought-provoking questions in nature recovery
• Pump-prime more speculative research that has the potential to evolve into something of far greater magnitude OR to provide “early wins” on impact, outreach and engagement
• Promote links and sharing of insights, approaches, ideas between the Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery’s themes, or between the Centre and other relevant programmes within the University

The projects which have been funded will be starting soon, and we are looking forward to sharing news and results as the projects progress.

Funded projects comprise:

• Equitable distribution of nature-rich accessible green space: An Oxfordshire case study
• Rethinking the role of state institutions in nature recovery
• Extension service provision facilitating landscape-scale nature recovery
• Good-Natured film festival
