Collective Action – working with others to amplify impact and influence
South East Nature Partnership
In 2021, a new network of nature partnerships in the South East was established. The South East Nature Partnership brings together Sussex Nature Partnership, Kent Nature Partnership, Surrey Nature Partnership, Hampshire and Isle of Wight Nature Partnership. Through this network, SxNP collaborates across the region on common priorities.
This partnership meets quarterly and is chaired by Caroline Jessel, Chair Kent Nature Partnership. Kent CC provide the secretariat support.
