Local Nature Recovery Strategy

Local Nature Recovery Strategies show how and where nature recovery can be best supported across the strategy's area.^[1] They were established under the Environment Act 2021,^[2] and involve mapping the habitats, agreeing proprities for their recovery, and mapping specific proposals for helping them recover.^[2] They focus on local needs and priorities, established through workshops, surveys and consultation.^[3][4] Their development involves working with partner organisations. For example in Cumbria these include Natural England, Lake District National Park Authority and Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority.^[5][6] The work is done using guidance from DEFRA.^[3][7]

Examples include Cumbria,^[5] Northumberland,^[3] Lancashire,^[2] and Durham.^[1] Eventually there will be 48 of them,^[7] with variations between them in the ways they are established and operated within the guidelines.^[8]
