The Essex Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) is open for public consultation, giving everyone the chance to share their feedback. With our county's wildlife and habitats facing increasing threats, the Essex LNRS provides a unique opportunity for all residents to have their say in shaping a thriving future for Essex, where nature is given the opportunity to recover.
Introduced under the Environment Act in 2021, the Essex LNRS is a collaborative strategy involving input from farmers, landowners, environmental NGOs, charities, local authorities and members of the public. The strategy aims to identify key locations for habitat creation, focusing on areas which will provide the most significant benefits for nature and the wider environment.
The draft strategy outlines biodiversity priorities and proposes actions to enhance our natural landscape, wildlife and habitats. It includes detailed maps highlighting nature recovery opportunities and key actions necessary for achieving these goals. The consultation period is open, and we invite everyone in Essex to review the draft and share their thoughts.
Your feedback is an essential element to refine and improve the strategy. By participating, you can help shape a robust strategy which ensures the preservation and enhancement of our county’s diverse landscapes and habitats, from ancient woodlands and farmlands to wetlands, coastlines and urban spaces, all for the benefit of generations to come.
Your voice can make a valuable contribution towards protecting and enhancing our natural environment and participating in the consultation is simple. Visit https://consultations.essex.gov.uk/c-e/lnrs-public-consultation and have your say today.
