Local Nature Recovery Strategy Public Consultation
/in News /by Administration AssistantMaking Space for Nature is excited to announce that their public consultation for the Kent and Medway Local Nature Recovery Strategy began on the 16th Jan.
The Strategy highlights the ambitions of helping habitats such as chalk grasslands, ancient woodland and coastal grazing marsh and mudflats. It also identifies priority species that need assistance, like the Shrill Carder Bee, Barn Owl, Duke of Burgundy butterfly and Green-winged Orchid. The draft strategy sets out the priorities for the recovery of nature in the county, and the recommended actions to deliver this. It also proposes areas where the creation or improvement of habitats could take place, highlighting where the greatest benefits will be for nature. The Strategy’s principles start with improving and safeguarding what we already have and aim towards connectivity between these areas, giving nature more resilience.
