There are lots of ways you can get involved and have your say on the draft Local Nature Recovery Strategy for Derbyshire.

As well as completing our online survey (https://derbyshirenaturerecovery.co.uk/strategy/have-your-say/) we are holding a series drop-in events across the city and county during February and March, led by Designing Dialogue Community Interest Company (CIC) – a spin-out Community Interest Company of the University of Derby.

These events are taking place at:

• Killamarsh Active Leisure Centre: Monday 17 February, 10am – 4pm
• Bakewell Agricultural Business Centre: Saturday 22 February, 10am – 4pm
• Derby Arboretum Park: Saturday 1 March, 10am – 4pm
• Glossop, Manor Park: Monday 10 March, 10am – 4pm
• Swadlincote, Sharpe’s Pottery Museum: Wednesday 12 March, 10am – 4pm

Look out for portable enclosures popping up to provide interactive spaces packed with resources designed to spark curiosity and conversation around nature.

As well as the drop-in events, there will also be two online meetings held at 1-2pm and 6-7pm on Tuesday 25 February which will provide an opportunity for you to share your views and speak to members of the team about the draft strategy. You can find details of how to join the meetings at: https://www.derby.ac.uk/events/latest-events/have-your-say-lnrs/ 

We hope you can make space in your diary for this exciting and important work and help us to develop the best strategy possible for Derbyshire and Derby.
