Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) for Nottinghamshire and Nottingham

The Public Consultation on the Draft Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) for Nottinghamshire and Nottingham officially opens today!

During the 6-week Public Consultation period, from 6 May to 16 June 2025, we want as many people as possible from across Nottinghamshire to look at the draft strategy and to comment on it. This is so that we can take into account the views of all the people who will be able to help to deliver nature recovery once the LNRS is published.

All the information you need to look at is on our consultation website – www.nottsnaturerecovery.co.uk

Here you will be able to view and download the written Statement of Biodiversity Priorities and other associated documents.

You can view the online Local Habitat Map which shows the important areas for nature recovery in the county. The map is best viewed on a laptop or desktop device. There is a short video user guide to explain how to click on and off the different mapping layers.

There is also a list of FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) to provide background information on the LNRS process as well as examples of existing Nature Recovery Projects in the county.

A shorter summary document has been produced and I have attached it here for your information.

We would like you to complete the online survey so you can give your views on the draft strategy and tell us if you support our proposals or if you think we have got anything wrong or missed anything important. The survey has some optional questions if you want to provide more detailed feedback on individual sections of the strategy.

Details of in-person and online events that you can attend are also on the website and will be added to during the consultation period.

We'll be attending the following events in May:

• Saturday 10th May: Notts County Show at Newark Showground (NB entry fee payable)
• Saturday 31st May: Nottingham Green Hustle at Old Market Square
