Â鶹ӳ»­

The first Local Nature Recovery Strategies for Â鶹ӳ»­ are now open for consultation - before 26 November 2025!

East Â鶹ӳ»­, West Â鶹ӳ»­ and Brighton & Hove are home to wondrous and iconic wildlife including internationally rare habitats and species. But like the rest of the UK, nature in Â鶹ӳ»­ urgently needs our help. Local Nature Recovery Strategies are a new approach to help us do that, and everyone in Â鶹ӳ»­ can take part. 

Two years in the making, and developed with input from over 2,000 local people, groups and organisations, the very first Local Nature Recovery Strategies for Â鶹ӳ»­ have now been drafted! 

A six-week consultation has just launched to give those living and working in West Â鶹ӳ»­, East Â鶹ӳ»­ and Brighton & Hove the chance to share their views on the plans.  
 
The draft strategies build on and support existing nature recovery efforts already underway in Â鶹ӳ»­, from large-scale initiatives to grassroots projects. They help us all to understand what nature needs in our local area and provide a tool that will guide our actions to enable the recovery of this most precious resource.  

Each strategy contains 7 principles, 24 priorities and over 100 practical actions to help reverse the decline in habitats and species. These range from incentivising the creation of new wildlife-rich spaces, to small everyday actions that anyone can take to encourage wildlife into their gardens.  
 
Explore your Local Nature Recovery Strategy and have your say before 26 November 2025.
