Greentalk
for Nature Recovery
Greentalk for Nature Recovery transforms local nature recovery strategies into simple microactions empowering civil society to take targeted and measurable steps towards nature recovery.
Nature Recovery is the critical process by which local government is addressing the climate and biodiversity emergencies.
Greentalk for Nature Recovery is for Officers in Local Authorities and property developers who are responsible for managing sites and deliverying their Local Nature Recovery Strategy or Biodiversity Action Plan.
Greentalk provide a powerful mapping platform that also offers best practice guidance, facilitates stakeholder collaboration, tracks progress and fosters community participation leading to cost savings.
Unlike scattered spreadsheets, complex GIS systems and variable stakeholder input, Greentalk offers a central dashboard that helps you stay on top of your responsibilities, target your limited budget, direct and track your stakeholders’ actions and celebrate your impact.
Celebrate - Show the current environment and let your community explore and appreciate what already exists
Explain - Describe the challenges across the landscape, and communicate your strategy in ways that can be practically implemented on the ground
Activate - Activate citizens, groups and businesses to undertake simple, targeted, microactions
Target - Target the microactions by priorities, habitats, location and the citizen’s capability and time availability
Measure - Measure improvement, reporting everything through a central dashboard to support over-stretched ecology, climate action and parks officers
What’s a Microaction? A microaction is any type of measureable activity that a citizen, community group, or business may undertake to support your strategy. It can be simple, or complex, individual or collective. It can be funded by the citizen, or supported by your own funding sources such as grants or investment frameworks.
Monitoring the biodiversity of a rain garden, adopting a tree, creating a bug hotel, planting a wildlife garden, monitoring a local green space, modifying an office car park to support biodiversity are all microactions which Greentalk can enable and support.
Greentalk uses…
The power of civil society to amplify nature recovery.

“A community-driven approach to biodiversity is also a climate resilient one … fostering community ownership, environmental stewardship and resident involvement is essential for protecting and promoting biodiversity.”
