Nature Restoration Fund

Asked by James McMurdockIndependentDepartment for Environment, Food and Rural AffairsTabled Answered 9 January 2026UIN 102578

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if her Department will publish annual progress reports on environmental improvements delivered through the Nature Restoration Fund.

Answered by Mary Creagh

Natural England is required to publish organisational annual reports, which will provide a high-level view of Nature Restoration Fund progress, including the amount of money received and spent under each Environmental Delivery Plan.

These will be accompanied by Environmental Delivery Plan-specific reports published at the mid-point and end-point of an Environmental Delivery Plan. These will show the delivery of conservation measures and whether they are on track to achieve the desired positive environmental outcomes
