Give your thoughts on a Nature Recovery Strategy for Warwickshire

The Government has asked Warwickshire County Council to prepare a Warwickshire Local Nature Recovery Strategy. This strategy is to be produced by taking the views from all those that benefit from or impact on nature. That is every business, every organisation and every resident.

Through a detailed habitat mapping initiative across Warwickshire, we have identified existing valuable ecological areas and locations with potential for biodiversity enhancement. This aligns with the vision of Lawton's "Making Space for Nature" report, which calls for the creation of  'more, bigger, better and connected' wild spaces.  To explore this initiative further, a dedicated map is available by clicking on this link (map will open in a new window). This map not only shows existing designated areas like Local Wildlife Sites but also identifies potential areas for enhancing connectivity between these crucial habitats.

​When we asked people about our Sustainable Future Strategy, biodiversity was the top concern, with 90% of respondents indicating that "Improving the richness and diversity of Warwickshire's habitats, wildlife and landscapes" is very important or important to them.
This survey is your chance to share your thoughts and ideas more specifically as we develop a Local Nature Recovery Strategy. Please share your views on how we can best protect and improve Warwickshire's natural environment.
