Local Nature Recovery Strategies

We worked with Defra and Natural England to deliver 3 of the 5 Local Nature Recovery Strategy Pilots in 2021. We then used the same approach in collaboration with Anglian Water to develop a plan for Lincolnshire which underpinned the design process of a major reservoir. As a result we are uniquely well positioned to create an LNRS for your county which integrates seamlessly with biodiversity net gain.

Our SCP approach combines two things, a transparent and inclusive social process and a spatial prioritisation analysis. We put stakeholders at the heart of strategy development and help them contribute to decision making in a range of ways, ensuring broad ownership of the outputs. Unlike other approaches, our spatial prioritisations are bespoke, allowing us to transparently base the analysis directly on the stakeholder input. This maximises support and ensures that the outputs are highly resilient to challenge.

A key strength of our spatial prioritisation analyses is that they consider cost, ensuring that the strategy represents the most cost effective solutions. This ensures that your county maximises the impact of available resources. In addition, this means that the LNRS inherently presents a strong business case for natural capital action, allowing you to effectively attract and negotiate investment in your area.
