Cumbria’s Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) is a call to action, and a source of inspiration for anyone who wants to play their part in addressing the biodiversity and climate crises. It is a tool to help prioritise nature recovery in the places where it will have the greatest impact for people and nature. Everyone working to address biodiversity loss in Cumbria should feel as if they are contributing to a bigger picture of nature recovery, and that everyone is able to play their part.
The LNRS has been produced collaboratively by those who live in, work in, or visit Cumbria, and will help us all to take action to create more places where wildlife and people can thrive. Together we can make a change and create a lasting legacy of nature recovery.
The purpose of the LNRS is to restore and connect habitats so that locally important species can thrive; the LNRS agrees the best places to plant trees, restore peatland, improve grassland condition, mitigate flood and fire risk, and create green spaces for local people to enjoy. With an agreed LNRS in place, nature recovery work initiated by everyone in Cumbria - from designated partnerships and large organisations, to farmers, local businesses and community groups - can help to deliver a bigger, better and more joined up nature recovery network across the whole of the county.
Regular updates and further information will be posted here on our website. To sign up for updates or for more information on how to get involved with the Cumbria LNRS please contact the Cumbria LNRS project manager:
The truth is: the natural world is changing. And we are totally dependent on that world. It provides our food, water and air. It is the most precious thing we have and we need to defend it.
