The WMCA are inviting responses to this consultation by 12 September
Local nature recovery strategies (LNRS) are a system of spatial strategies for nature and environmental improvement required by law under the Act. Each strategy must:
- agree priorities for nature’s recovery;
- map the most valuable existing areas for nature; and
- map specific proposals for creating or improving habitat for nature and wider environmental goals (adopting nature-based solutions).
Together, the strategies will cover the whole of England with no gaps and no overlaps. The main purpose of the strategies is to identify locations to create or improve habitat most likely to provide the greatest benefit for nature and the wider environment. These strategies are being prepared by combined authorities or top-tier councils; this particular strategy covers the WMCA geography.
You are invited to take part in the public consultation to help prepare this WMCA-focused strategy. The consultation is open until Friday 12 September.
