Welcome to Nature Rising

An exciting new project in your local community!

Nature Rising brings together Global Majority communities to take action for nature. In this first of its kind project, we share our knowledge, learn green skills, and connect with community and nature. We’re supporting the wildlife that helps our plants survive and thrive. 

We’re hosting an exciting series of events around St Pauls and Easton, run by Bristol’s most inspiring community leaders! And you’re invited!
