If you treasure natural spaces and want to see wildlife thrive, you will want to stay up to date with the progress of the Essex Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS). With the creation of the LNRS, everyone has the opportunity to share their views on the future of the environment in which we live.
To ensure the LNRS becomes an effective tool in developing partnerships and action plans that more effectively support biodiversity and encourage collective activity, collaboration and consultation are essential. Make sure you have your say.
You can stay up to date with how the LNRS will be created and its progress, find details of upcoming information events, recordings of recent webinars, FAQs, and the chance to sign up to the newsletter for more regular updates.
