Community Resilience
Building nature, connecting communities
Enhancing natural capital, or natural infrastructure as it is sometimes called, leads to greater community resilience. New Acre Project contributes to flood mitigation, pollination, cleaner air and water and a culture of care that increases over time and as more participants are involved in project delivery. By enabling projects on the ground, your support helps empower communities to contribute to all the benefits that nature provides.
