About Local Nature Recovery Strategies

Local Nature Recovery Strategies are a new system of plans for nature and environmental improvement across England.

The purpose of these plans is to establish priorities and proposals to help nature to thrive and provide wider environmental benefits in the future.

The Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) for Derbyshire will be specific to the county of Derbyshire and the city of Derby and will set a long-term plan that is formed and delivered in partnership with a range of organisations as well as local people.
