Derbyshire’s Local Nature Recovery Strategy is now live!
We’re proud to announce the publication of the Derbyshire Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) — Thriving with Nature. The strategy is a collaboratively developed vision for restoring and enhancing nature and biodiversity across the county.
The strategy was developed with input and support from a wide range of partners and stakeholders, environmental bodies, experts, local authorities, farmers and landowners, community groups, members of the public and more. In February and March 2025, we ran a public consultation on the draft strategy, and we have edited and improved the strategy to reflect the feedback we have received. We are deeply grateful to everyone who has supported and contributed to this work over the last two years.
