Our nature programme
We work with Conservative parliamentarians and councillors to champion market-led and conservative solutions to restore our natural environment.
We have a responsibility to halt the decline in biodiversity this decade by producing food sustainably, using our resources more efficiently, cleaning up our rivers and seas, building homes in a nature-friendly way, and properly protecting areas for nature on land and at sea.
We believe that farmers are the custodians of our countryside and that public money should pay for the delivery of environmental public goods which are not adequately rewarded by the market.
Our nature programme is currently working on policies and campaigns to tackle water pollution, develop a more sustainable food system using our post-Brexit freedoms, create a more resource efficient economy, and protect and manage 30 per cent of our land for nature by 2030.

Nature-based solutions
Nature-based solutions can increase the natural resilience of our farmland and improve our food security. With biodiversity loss and climate change being among the biggest medium and long-term threats to UK food security, solutions that harness natural processes can protect farmland and food security in the long-term.
Branching Out
This manifesto puts forward a plan to revive trees, woodland, and forests across the UK. This realistic but ambitious approach is designed to boost our timber security, restore nature across Britain, support industries critical to delivering net zero emissions by 2050, and add well-paying jobs along the supply chain.
