NAZE PROTECTION SOCIETY
When the Naze Tower was built it was ¼ mile inland; today it stands only 50 metres from the cliff edge and will be structurally compromised within the next 15 years, or less, due to the encroaching sea. Since the Naze Tower opened to the public in 2004 we have been campaigning and fundraising with the Naze Protection Society (NPS), a registered charity that aims to promote and protect the Naze. The NPS continually raise funds through their Charity Shop in Walton, events and donations. For more information or to make a donation go to the Naze Protection Society website
NAZE HERITAGE PROJECT
The Naze Tower, Naze Protection Society, Essex Wildlife Trust, Tendring District Council, INTend, Essex County Council, Frinton and Walton Town Council and local landowners are working in partnership to secure the future for the Naze as a nationally important area for its heritage and wildlife.
The first priority of the Naze Heritage Project is to construct Crag Walk, for which the funding is now secured. Following that, the Project aims to improve the management of the Naze open space for the benefit of the heritage, wildlife, geological and education interest and to improve the facilities for local people and visitors. These plans are underway and funding is being sought from the public, corporate and private sectors.

CRAG WALK
Crag Walk is a 110m educational public access and viewing platform that will be sited along the beach in front of the southern end of the Naze cliffs. This scheme will provide views of the cliff and educational interpretation whilst preserving a section of the Naze public open space and the Naze Tower.
The cost of the Crag Walk project is in the region of £1.2 million. Funds have been secured from Tendring District (£520,000) via INTend, Essex County Council (£500,00) and the Naze Protection Society (£235,000). The work is planned to go ahead in 2010/2011.
