🌊👣 Today we're celebrating two new sections of the King Charles III England Coast Path opening on the Isle of Wight.
The new routes add almost 16 miles of spectacular coastal walking, connecting more of the Island's incredible coastline.
Nature Minister Jenny Riddell-Carpenter saw how the peatland restoration by Moors for the Future in @PeakDistrict National Park is delivering real results: less wildfire risk, reduced flooding downstream and more carbon capture.
A great example of nature recovery in action. 🌿

Getting the grazing right on Dartmoor is important for its recovery - and ponies play a vital
role in this.

Last month, the RSPB announced that Sherwood Forest’s iconic Major Oak had died. But its legend will live on. Not only in the stories of Robin Hood, but by creating vital habitat for a range of specialised and rare species as the trunk decays.
An important step forward for nature recovery in England.
This provides a clear route to accelerating progress towards protecting and restoring the natural systems that sustain our society and economy.
Together, we can build a resilient and nature-rich future
We’ve set out a clear path to protect and improve 30% of land for nature in England by 2030.
Our 30by30 delivery plan is backed by £37m of funding to restore wildlife, improve access to nature and support climate resilience.
