A huge thank you to Jacob Riley for creating our new KNG logo.
Our previous logo has served us incredibly well over the last four years. It perfectly reflected who we were as an organisation and has been with us through countless conservation projects, community events, wildlife surveys, educational activities, campaigns and volunteer hours.
We will always be proud of what that logo represented. Our heartfelt thanks to Cassandra for that logo and the other lovely art she kindly made for us through the years.
But Kettering Nature Group is evolving.
Over the last four years, we have proven that we can deliver projects at scale that connect people, place and nature. We have shown that conservation works best when it is rooted within communities and when people are given meaningful opportunities to take action.
As we look to the future, we are developing a Civic Ecological Infrastructure Partnership Programme, to allow us to become less reliant on grant funding.
KNG will facilitate civic ecological infrastructure, creating the spaces, habitats and opportunities that enable communities to take action for nature.
Working with local authorities, school trusts, NHS organisations, businesses, and more we will deliver practical projects that create lasting benefits for both wildlife and people. This could include community nest box initiatives, swift recovery projects, wildlife gardens, pollinator habitats, hides, specialist nesting features, biophilic, sensory and accessible green spaces, and many other forms of ecological infrastructure.
The principle is simple. If we want people to engage with nature, we need to create the infrastructure that makes that possible. If we want wildlife to recover, we need to create the spaces where it can thrive.
Our role is to bring those two things together.
By helping organisations invest in ecological infrastructure, we can create lasting assets that support biodiversity, improve access to nature, strengthen communities and leave a positive legacy for future generations.
Just as importantly, this work will help us do more for the community. By delivering commissioned projects for organisations, we can generate income that is reinvested directly into KNG's work, allowing us to deliver more, better free sessions, events and activities for local people while creating even greater benefits for wildlife.
You may also notice a change in how we present ourselves.
While our legal name remains Kettering Nature Group, we will increasingly be using KNG as our public-facing identity.
As our work has grown, the name Kettering Nature Group has increasingly understated both the scale and geographic reach of what we do. KNG gives us an identity that can travel, allowing us to work with partners wherever there is an opportunity to create positive outcomes for wildlife and communities.
The challenges facing nature do not stop at town boundaries, and neither should the solutions.
This new logo represents that next chapter. It reflects an organisation that remains committed to its founding mission while expanding its ability to deliver ambitious projects that create meaningful change for nature and communities alike.
Thank you, Jacob, for helping us tell that story. We absolutely love the result and look forward to seeing it represent KNG for many years to come.
