Have your say on draft Local Nature Recovery Strategy for Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland

Members of the public are invited to comment on the draft Local Nature Recovery Strategy for Leicestershire, Leicester, and Rutland, which lays out practical actions to boost wildlife and natural spaces. It looks at how to tackle habitat loss, shrinking species populations, and the effects of climate change.

The draft strategy highlights important habitats like woodlands, wetlands, and urban green spaces, along with key species that need our help. It also promotes using nature-based solutions to tackle climate challenges, improve ecosystems, and boost overall environmental health.

A public consultation is running until Friday 28 February 2025.

Documents can be viewed on Leicestershire County Council's website (here) with a number of interactive maps which you can use to look at the various projects (here).
