Essex Local Nature Partnership
Local Nature Partnerships (LNPs) bring together local organisations, businesses and people who want to improve their local natural environment.
- 14% of Natural Green Infrastructure coverage of Essex to be increased to 25% Natural Green infrastructure coverage by 2030
- 50% of farmland in Essex to adopt Sustainable stewardship practices by 2030. This target has been adopted from the Essex Climate Action Commission.
- 1 in 4 people in Essex taking action for Nature Recovery. Target adopted from the Essex Wildlife Trust.
- access to high quality green space for all.
