Local Nature Recovery Strategy

The reason for coming to the meetings is to invite Oxfordshire County Council's Cabinet to approve and adopt the first Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) for Oxfordshire. The LNRS seeks approval to launch the final map tool and strategy documents online to the public.

The strategy sets out targeted, recommended locations to focus upcoming nature recovery actions in Oxfordshire. The goal of the strategy is to produce a shared vision of nature recovery with partners across Oxfordshire and to use the documents and mapped areas to drive a more joined-up delivery of local nature recovery actions. If delivered, this would creating a more resilient network of nature in Oxfordshire with great benefits for both people and wildlife. The preparation and production of this strategy is a statutory duty for Oxfordshire County Council through the Environment Act 2021.
