Stepping Stones to Nature
Plymouth has a huge range of natural spaces to enjoy. These include 23 County Wildlife Sites (CWS), eight Local Nature Reserves (LNR), eight Sites of Special Interest (SSSI), 26 Parks and many other spaces for nature. Plymouth also borders three Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), Dartmoor National Park and a European Marine Site.
Stepping Stones are planning to work with people who don't normally think of parks and green spaces in their local community when it comes to enjoyment, entertainment, health or a free day out. Bringing together expertise from public health, parks, protected landscapes, neighbourhood renewal, play, rights of way, and outdoor education we aim to create new ways of getting more people enjoying the benefits of good quality natural spaces.
Current projects
Quality improvements, community events and conservation volunteering.
