Cumbria Local Nature Recovery Strategy

Events

Webinars 

The LNRS team will be hosting a series of Zoom webinars aimed at a variety of audiences. The purpose of these webinars is to introduce the LNRS to those who may not already be aware of it, explain what nature recovery is and why it is important, and allow attendees to share their views on what they are either already doing to enhance biodiversity or what they would like to see more of.

Each event is listed below and the Zoom link to each session will be sent to you in an email once you have booked your place. If you have any issues or queries about these webinars, please email Cumbria.LNRS@westmorlandandfurness.gov.uk .

Spatial Planning Workshops

Cumbria Biodiversity Data Centre, the LNRS team and the Spatial Planning Group have been hard at work developing the opportunity maps for the LNRS, which will show ‘Areas that Could Become of Particular Importance for Biodiversity’. The first draft of this opportunity mapping is due to be completed in September and the team would like to invite you to a workshop to explore this mapping in more detail. 

We are hosting three workshops open to anyone interested in viewing this mapping, and a fourth workshop aimed uniquely at land agents, surveyors and foresters. The workshops will allow the team to gather your feedback on the presentation, the accuracy and the functionality of the maps. Each session will be identical to allow you to pick a time and location that works best for you. Each event is listed below and we ask that you book your place through the booking link provided to allow the team to monitor numbers. If you have any issues booking your place, please email Cumbria.LNRS@westmorlandandfurness.gov.uk
