Summary

Seeking views on how Local Nature Recovery Strategies should be prepared and what should be included.

This consultation was held on another website.

This consultation ran from
9am on 10 August 2021 to 11:45pm on 2 November 2021

Consultation description

We want to know what you think about preparing the Local Nature Recovery Strategies and what to include.

The strategies are a new system of maps and proposed actions for nature’s recovery. The Environment Bill will create a legal requirement for these to be created across England.

Each strategy will:

• agree local priorities for helping nature and improving the wider environment
• map areas of current and potential importance for nature

We’ll encourage public bodies, housing developers, land owners and others to use these maps and priorities so that we can work together for nature’s recovery.
