A happy healthy community - our goals

Goal 4: Everyone can connect with nature

Achieving this ambition would mean nature is accessible and valued by everyone in Cherwell.

Commitments

  • Improve the infrastructure and wayfinding to make nature more widely accessible.
  • Protect and expand the local spaces for nature and wildlife which make a positive contribution to biodiversity.
  • Promote inclusive volunteering in nature, especially for local residents from groups and backgrounds less likely to have good access to green space.

Suggested Measurements

  1. Proactively promote free opportunities to explore Cherwell, such as the walking app Go Jauntly.
  2. Number of new opportunities to engage with nature through volunteer run activity.
  3. Number of new accessible spaces identified through planning.
