LINC is an exciting initiative supporting investment-ready natural capital projects in Cornwall to engage with funders. We enable landowners and farmers to develop and bring unique site-based projects to the marketplace where delivery of nature recovery can be rewarded.
Developers and businesses keen to meet their socially and environmentally responsible targets can support projects that help create a greener future whilst investing in a slice of heaven – Cornwall’s rich and diverse natural environment.
Funders can choose from a range of bold and innovative projects; from large scale tree planting to butterfly-laden wildflower meadows; from seagrass beds to new wildlife habitats in urban areas. These nature-based solutions all contribute to mitigating and adapting to climate change, through natural flood management and nature recovery.
LINC builds on previous Natural Environment Readiness Investment Fund (NEIRF) work in Cornwall. Outputs from relevant projects are available to view in a series of ‘Investing in Nature’ reports at the top right-hand side of this page and partner links.
In 2022 Cornwall Council examined the feasibility of establishing a new local mechanism to help unlock opportunities for investing in nature in Cornwall. We spoke to many stakeholders to understand their views and gauge the appetite and barriers for investors and landholders. We also spoke to national experts on how we could catalyse private funding at the county-scale. In doing so we were generously steered by a group of local stakeholders including developer representatives, farming and landowner representatives, and environmental experts.

By protecting and replenishing the natural environment they will help meet the ambitious target in our pioneering Environmental Growth Strategy and emerging Local Nature Recovery Strategy: whereby 30% of our land, rivers and sea will be well managed for nature by 2030.
