From Natural England

Natural England is committed to working collaboratively with our stakeholders to recover Nature, for growth, health and security. As part of this commitment, we invite you to take part in our Annual Stakeholder Survey. Note that this survey is for people who work within an organisation.

You can access the survey at this link.

Your feedback is invaluable in helping us understand what we’re doing well and where we can improve. The survey should take no more than 10 minutes to complete, and your responses will directly inform how we engage and deliver our work in the future.

What happened to my feedback last year?

In our 2024 survey, whilst many of you told us you have a good relationship with Natural England, you also highlighted areas where we could improve. You asked for greater clarity on our organisational structure and better coordination between our national and regional teams. You wanted us to be more proactive in contacting you about issues relevant to your organisation and to make it easier to find the right person to speak to.

We've taken this feedback seriously and shared your insights, both the good and the areas for improvement, with teams across Natural England. We've introduced better ways of sharing information between our teams and are working to streamline our internal processes, including a full review of our stakeholder relationship management. Our partnership work continues to strengthen, including through initiatives like Regional Nature Partnerships and our series of stakeholder engagement events to help us with the development of new organisational strategy.

The survey will remain open until 5pm on 07 October. If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us at externalaffairs@naturalengland.org.uk

Thank you for your continued support.

Best wishes,

The External Affairs Team
