The River Nene Regional Park is an independent Community Interest Company creating a green infrastructure network of environmental projects extending from Daventry to Peterborough linking the towns of Northampton, Towcester, Wellingborough, Kettering and Corby. This is an independent not for profit organisation that is able to hold assets on behalf of the community. It has to meet certain standards and produce an annual Community Report. Since the inception of the River Nene Regional Park in 2004 over £20 million pounds has been secured for ongoing investment in this area. Some of the River Nene Regional Park projects include the award winning Tree Top Way at Salcey Forest, the innovative facilities at Stanwick Lakes and Top Lodge at Fineshade Woods.

All of these projects are bringing about change on the ground and enhancing the environmental assets that we already have.
