Local Nature Recovery Strategies: A vital tool for nature’s recovery across Yorkshire

Local Nature Recovery Strategies (LNRS) promise to co-ordinate action and investment in nature’s recovery. There will be four LNRS for Yorkshire which will identify and map the best places to focus our efforts. The magic lies in what we collectively then do with this information.

Truly successful nature recovery across Yorkshire is achievable but only if...

n We have strong communication and collaboration between neighbouring authorities n Everyone involved in nature recovery in Yorkshire contributes to the LNRS n Farmers, landowners and land managers are supported to play their part

The Trust is uniquely placed to facilitate and support the development of high quality LNRS across Yorkshire

Offer insight from our State of Yorkshire’s Nature analysis and mapping on the priorities for wildlife across Yorkshire - learning from Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and partners’ case studies

Explore challenges and opportunities for delivery drawing upon best practice

Play our part in delivering ambitious LNRS that directly help nature’s recovery n LNRS are updated and integrated into our tools for nature recovery (e.g. Environmental Land Management Scheme (ELMS), Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG), environmental markets) n There is a continuous cycle of collecting, using, building and re-integrating the data

Provide opportunities for those working on LNRS to come together, learn from best practice and each other, and facilitate opportunities to collaborate across boundaries

Use our position to embed LNRS in wider environmental, economic, and social policy making and plans
