Oxfordshire's Local Nature Recovery Strategy

The Local Nature Recovery Strategy has just launched a new tool online that invites people to supply information about habitat-level actions that they might be taking to create, improve, or restore areas of nature.


Please tell us about your habitat projects 


Thank you to everyone who has contributed to our Local Nature Recovery Strategy through meetings, workshops, and the online survey. We really appreciate your time and effort and we are working hard to analyse the results so they can be included in the next stage of developing the LNRS for Oxfordshire. The online webinar that we held on 8th May discussed more detail about our progress. A recording of this webinar will be available to watch in the next week (online at Oxfordshire’s Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) | Oxfordshire County Council). 

 

Now we’d like to identify where people are already taking (or are willing/planning to take) action for habitat creation, restoration, or improvement in Oxfordshire. This information will be used in addition to data we already have on existing nature areas to help us identify priority areas. 

 

If you already have digital map data files that show where you have (or want to) take actions, please email these directly to

localnaturerecoverystrategy@oxfordshire.gov.uk

 

 If not, you can use our mapping tool to share with us where you have done (or plan to do) habitat creation or restoration works

https://letstalk.oxfordshire.gov.uk/lnrs-phase2

 

 Please be aware that actions and locations that you tell us about will not be compulsory for landowners to deliver through the LNRS, instead our hope is that we may be able to increase funding opportunities for locations where people are willing to take actions. 


We cannot guarantee that your locations will be included as priority areas on the final map, but they will form part of the evidence-base used for these decisions. 


Please share your information with us by the 9th June 2024.
