KNG is an established Community Interest Company delivering civic ecology, nature recovery and placemaking across North Northamptonshire. We work with local authorities, NHS Trusts, housing providers, developers, businesses, schools, community organisations and residents to create healthier, more resilient places where both people and wildlife can thrive.

Our work is guided by our civic ecology model, which brings together ecological knowledge, strategic planning and community engagement to embed nature into everyday life. By integrating biodiversity recovery with placemaking, health, education, climate resilience and community wellbeing, we help organisations create places that are greener, more connected and valued by the people who live, work and visit there.

KNG led the development and authorship of the Kettering Parish Nature Recovery Plan, translating ecological evidence, local priorities and partnership working into a practical framework for long-term nature recovery. Alongside strategic planning, we deliver biodiversity monitoring, habitat creation, species conservation, environmental education, volunteer engagement and community participation programmes that generate measurable environmental and social outcomes.

Our flagship initiatives include #NaturallyKettering, Swift Streets, Community Nature Spaces, the annual Midlands Festival of Nature and the Wildlife Rescue & Emergency Network (WREN). We also provide commissioned consultancy, project delivery and public engagement services, supporting organisations to achieve biodiversity, sustainability and social value objectives through practical, evidence-led solutions.

Whether supporting a local authority to deliver nature recovery, helping an NHS Trust create therapeutic green spaces, working with housing providers and developers to create thriving, nature-positive communities, assisting businesses to strengthen their environmental and social impact, or inspiring local people to take action for wildlife, KNG delivers projects that create lasting benefits for both nature and society.

By choosing Kettering Nature Group, clients invest not only in high-quality environmental delivery but also in a Community Interest Company whose work reinvests every commission into reconnecting people with nature, strengthening communities and creating a more nature-positive future for North Northamptonshire.
