Plymouth City Council have developed a bold, five-year plan to put nature at the heart of the city’s growth and development. The Plymouth Plan for Nature and People sets out a vision for a greener, healthier and more inclusive Plymouth – where natural spaces are treated as essential infrastructure, just like road, housing and healthcare.

This plan outlines clear aims and a delivery plan to create:

  • a nature-rich city
  • a playful, active and healthy city
  • inclusive nature spaces for everyone
  • a nature-connected and empowered community
  • an innovative Investment city.

By 2030, Plymouth’s nature network will be better connected and nationally recognised for its innovation. It will help tackle climate risks, support thousands of green and blue jobs, and ensure that nature is co-designed and celebrated by local communities.

And they want to hear from you! Share your thoughts and help shape a thriving, nature-connected future for Plymouth.

Have your say on the Plan for Nature and Plymouth by completing the survey. The consultation closes on 22 September.
