Local Nature Recovery Strategy

Last updated

Local Nature Recovery Strategies show how and where nature recovery can be best supported across the strategy's area. [1] They were established under the Environment Act 2021, [2] and involve mapping the habitats, agreeing proprities for their recovery, and mapping specific proposals for helping them recover. [2] They focus on local needs and priorities, established through workshops, surveys and consultation. [3] [4] Their development involves working with partner organisations. For example in Cumbria these include Natural England, Lake District National Park Authority and Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority. [5] [6] The work is done using guidance from DEFRA. [3] [7]

Examples include Cumbria, [5] Northumberland, [3] Lancashire, [2] and Durham. [1] Eventually there will be 48 of them, [7] with variations between them in the ways they are established and operated within the guidelines. [8]
