About Us

About the Wilder Norwich Project
Wilder Norwich is an ambitious multi-partner collaboration focused on nature recovery and community agency around three key urban green spaces in Norwich, delivered in partnership with Norfolk and Waveney Mind and Norwich City Council.
Through authentic, community-led engagement and ecological action, the project will support both nature recovery and community wellbeing in Norwich.

Wilder Norwich is funded thanks to the support from National Lottery players and The National Lottery Community Fund.
The Role

In return, we offer a competitive benefits package.
