LNRS for supporting authorities - what do you need to know?

All local authorities have a key role to play in preparing and delivering Local Nature Recovery Strategies (LNRS), even if they are not a ‘responsible authority’. Through LNRS, all local authorities, as place leaders for their area, have an opportunity to shape the future of the natural environment right now.


Defra has produced a factsheet that provides information about the role of ‘supporting authorities’ in LNRS and why they are important. The factsheet outlines the opportunity that the strategies present for local authorities and explains how, when and why you should engage in the process. 

With strategy preparation progressing across the country, now is the best time to engage to ensure your LNRS aligns with your organisational objectives and meets the needs of residents, businesses and other organisations in your area.
