Rolling hills that bloom purple and gold with heather and gorse. Moorland rich in bog moss, cotton-grass and shrubs and areas of open water dotted with pond skaters. Skylark nest in the grass on the open moor and lizards warm themselves on bare earth in the morning sun.

From our coastal headlands of Penwith, the peaty, wet heaths of Goss Moor to the windy summit of Rough Tor on Bodmin Moor; heathland, moors, and mires traverse swathes of Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. Click the link below to explore these priorities.

How to Use the Nature Recovery Strategy

The Nature Recovery Strategy is a tool that can be used by that con be used by anyone and everyone to help identify the best actions we can take to help restore nature across the region. We advise following the below steps to help fully engage with the nature recovery strategy and understand our vision for the region.

We have also developed a suite of tools to help you better understand and engage with the strategy and mapping. Many of these tools can be found within the strategy document but can also be found here.

  • If you are developing a project, consider reading our Best Practice Guide to help shape your plans and prepare for the future.
  • Some of the language used within the strategy and mapping can be challenging, and has been newly introduced as a part of the Local Nature Recovery Strategy process - we've developed a Jargon Buster to help you better understand these terms.
  • The strategy has strong links to mandatory Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) requirements. We've explored what that means and how to use the strategy can be used to help deliver for BNG in our explainer document.

Species recovery is embedded throughout the Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Nature Recovery. 100 species have been selected as our 'Focus Species' for the strategy. These are species which are in most need and have public and strategic support for recovery. Explore the toolkit by clicking below.
