If you care about North East Lincolnshire’s internationally important coastlands, dunes, saltmarsh, grasslands and ancient woodlands then now is the time to tell us.
From now until March 8 2026, local councils in Lincolnshire are consulting with the public on a Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS).
North East Lincolnshire Council is working with Lincolnshire County Council, North Lincolnshire Council and the Greater Lincolnshire Nature Partnership, with support and guidance from Natural England.
We have engaged with a wide range of stakeholders including members of the public to develop the draft LNRS, and this is now ready to be shared wider. Your responses will help inform the new LNRS for Greater Lincolnshire.
Why do we need a Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS)?
Greater Lincolnshire is home to a variety of nationally important landscapes and associated habitats which all support a wide range of species. Sadly, our natural areas have been in decline over the last century, with many areas of habitat depleted and native species under threat or already lost.
Action needs to be taken, not only to protect what is still present, but also for the recovery of what we have lost. We need to provide more space for nature and ensure it’s ‘’bigger, better and more joined up’’, so that our precious habitats and species are there for future generations to enjoy.
A Local Nature Recovery Strategy is a legally required plan designed to guide action for nature recovery. They were introduced by the Environment Act 2021 to help achieve the targets set out in the Government’s Environmental Improvement Plan, build the Nature Recovery network and improve nature locally for the benefit of wildlife and people.
If you wish to find out more, you can join our online sessions to get a clear overview of what’s in the draft strategy and ask questions directly to the project team.
Open to all stakeholders, the sessions require no preparation, with dates, times and Microsoft Teams links provided – just drop in, and contact us at the project email if you need anything further.
