Our aim is to help millions more people enjoy time in nature close to home, in greener, thriving towns and cities. We want more urban areas to use nature recovery and nature-based solutions to tackle health inequalities and climate change, and to put nature at the heart of communities to grow their prosperity, connection and resilience. ### SCOPE OF THE WORK Development of an online marketplace will begin with street tree planting (urban intervention), able to be bundled and sold/funded as 'tokens'.
