Farmers and landowners have been custodians of the land for generations, and it is recognised that they are passionate about living within nature and preserving wildlife on their land. Technological, policy and funding changes in the last 100 years have meant that farming practices have been intensified to produce more food and feed the nation. Sometimes this has happened at the expense of the wider environment.

Local Nature Recovery Strategies (LNRS) are a new, England-wide system of spatial strategies that will establish priorities and map proposals for specific actions to drive nature’s recovery and provide wider environmental benefits. They consist of:

  • A map of the most valuable areas for wildlife
  • Opportunities to improve nature in the future, and
  • Our local short-term priorities
