Nurture Eden needs you! We’re looking to develop a network of participating organisations. It’s all about working together across the Eden Valley to develop the tourism offer in Eden through creating a wide-ranging programme of responsible tourism activity. Together we’re stronger. The money raised through Nurture Eden membership will go directly to help fund training events, workshops, support and advice – and all the other benefits listed below. Membership fees are also one of the mechanisms for the project to become self-sustaining.

Nurture Eden’ is recruiting businesses and supporting them to develop new, low impact holiday ideas into workable solutions and participating businesses are playing a crucial role in shaping the project and deciding its direction. If you own or work for a business within the Eden district, there are plenty of ways that you can get involved.

What do we provide?

• ‘Nurture Eden’ is recruiting businesses and supporting them to develop new, low impact holiday ideas into workable solutions
