Description

As part of our significant savings and efficiencies challenge, Natural England (NE) have highlighted an opportunity to achieve savings by better managing their National Nature Reserves (NNRs). NE manages 2/3rds of NNRs across England with the rest being managed by organisations such as the RSPB, National Trust and Local Wildlife Trusts. NE spends approx. £10m a year managing these sites and NE are keen to reduce this cost through exploring savings in areas such as their Operating Model, Sustainable Financing, Commercial Opportunities and Asset Management.
