Worcestershire launches its strategy to restore nature

On publication, Worcestershire County Council released the Local Nature Recovery Strategy and Local Habitat Map online, proposing a countywide plan to reverse biodiversity loss and restore habitats; the strategy is one of 48 local strategies available at www.worcestershire.gov.uk/lnrs.
Shaped by evidence and partners across the county, the strategy was developed through collaboration with local stakeholders, environmental organisations, land managers, and community representatives and links to the national Nature Recovery Network.
Practical steps range from hedgehog highways to orchard planting, each tied to wider environmental benefits including cleaner air and water, healthier soils and natural flood management.
Local people and organisations are invited to use the guidance and act to help nature recover, as Worcestershire County Council thanks contributors and seeks continued partnership.
Councillor Ian Cresswell encouraged people to explore the LNRS and Local Habitat Map and commit to at least one action, highlighting bluebells in Shrawley Wood as local natural assets.
