Conservative led Wiltshire Council is leading the drive to help nature's recovery across both Wiltshire and Swindon and is preparing a Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS).
Through the LNRS rich habitats can be created to drive nature's recovery and provide wider environmental benefits.
In 2023 Wiltshire Council was one of 48 individual local authorities who benefited from receiving allocations from a £14 million funding pot from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs enabling them to work with their local communities to develop a tailored nature recovery strategy for their area.
Nature recovery needs to be locally led to help identify practical, achievable proposals developed with the input of people who know and understand the area. The LNRS Team has been mapping areas in Swindon and Wiltshire where future nature improvement projects should be provided to give nature the best chance for recovery following suggestions gathered at stakeholder engagement opportunities and events held early this year.
They are now asking you for your views on this mapping and will be holding a webinar on Monday 30 September, giving you the chance to learn more about the draft LNRS map and how you can give feedback via a survey, as well as offer the opportunity to ask questions.
To book, please visit the Wiltshire Council website or use the following link:
