"What is the Local Nature Recovery Strategy?

The Local Nature Recovery Strategy will consider land at a county scale and will identify locations to improve nature and provide other benefits, such as capturing carbon from the atmosphere, flood regulation and access to nature-rich spaces where this is most needed for health and wellbeing.

The Local Nature Recovery Strategy will:

• agree priorities for nature's recovery, such as increasing woodland cover or creating wetlands
• map the most valuable existing areas for nature
• map specific proposals for creating and improving habitat for nature and wider environmental goals

As required by law under the Environment Act 2021, every county in England will produce a Local Nature Recovery Strategy. These strategies will work together to restore, create and connect habitats across England."
