Get to know the Local Nature Recovery Strategy

Get to grips with Devon's brand new Local Nature Recovery Strategy!

The LNRS is designed to help us reverse declines in nature by identifying what we most need to do and where we most need to do it. It’s all about opportunities, for everyone.

It provides a single vision for nature recovery whether you’re thinking about action for a garden, farm, woodland, landscape or whole county.

The LNRS is:

• Full of useful information about nature, what it needs most and where to find out more.

• Helping to target various funding schemes relevant for projects.  

• Informing other strategies such as Local Plans, Land Use Frameworks and planning decisions.

• Part of a ‘nested suite’ of nature strategies (national to parish) that help to deliver national wildlife targets and inform more detailed nature strategies produced at a more local level.

• A way to help us work together for nature across landscapes, joining up ideas and actions so they have more impact.

The new Local Nature Recovery Strategy for Devon has been published, following several years of work and a public consultation. The Strategy offers a useful way for communities to understand their local habitats and prioritise actions to benefit wildlife in their area.

This webinar is being hosted by the Local Nature Recover Strategy Team. It will run through all you need to know to begin using the Local Nature Recovery Strategy and its many resources, including a mapping tool  and is aimed at the general public and individuals interested in taking action for nature.
