What is the Local Nature Recovery Strategy?

A Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) is a spatial strategy required by the Environment Act 2021. It will set out local priorities to restore and enhance habitats and recover populations of species.

The Herefordshire LNRS is one of 48 LNRSs, which together will completely cover England and support national policies for nature recovery. This strategy is aimed at reversing the ongoing decline of nature and biodiversity in England, through practical and coordinated action of the implementation of the Nature Recovery Network on a local level.

In its capacity as local authority, Herefordshire Council is the designated ‘Responsible Authority’ for the Herefordshire Local Nature Recovery Strategy.
