THE National Lottery Heritage Fund has awarded over £2.5 million to four projects across the North of England in a bid to ensure that the natural heritage on our doorsteps is preserved and protected for years to come.
The projects that have received funding are led by the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Partnership, North York Moors National Park Authority, Eden Rivers Trust and Sheffield Wildlife Trust.
Natural heritage has been identified as a priority area for The Fund, as well as community heritage, which are both at the heart of all four recently awarded projects.
