Local Nature Recovery Strategy
Local Nature Recovery Strategy
The Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) for Derbyshire will be specific to the county of Derbyshire and the city of Derby and will set out priorities and proposals to help nature to thrive and provide wider environmental benefits in the future. It is being formed and will be delivered in partnership with a range of organisations as well as local people.
LNRS Document
The draft LNRS for Derbyshire underwent a period of public consultation during February and March 2025.
The final LNRS will be available on this website following its approval in Summer 2025.
Strategy Development
Work is underway to develop the strategy. A series of stakeholder engagement events was held over Summer and Autumn 2024 to gather views and knowledge from as many people as possible. Findings from this engagement, as well as from the public consultation activities in February and March 2025, are being used to develop the final version of the strategy.

We want to engage with as many people and organisations as possible during the development of the LNRS to capture knowledge and ideas about nature recovery opportunities. There are a range of ways to get involved.
LNRS Will:
Map our most valuable existing habitats
Agree priorities for reversing the decline in biodiversity
Map opportunities for nature recovery and wider environmental goals
Delivery Plan
The LNRS is being developed through a series of steps, as required by the Government. This will enable the development and publication of the LNRS by Summer 2025.
