People can have their say on what should be done to enhance nature across Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.
The local nature recovery strategy aims to better manage habitats, animals and plans across the county and raise awareness of the benefits these bring.
Our local countryside is glorious
The public consultation invites everyone to have their say on key environmental priorities and propose ideas that will guide long-term nature recovery efforts.
Paul Bristow, Mayor of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough, said:
“I urge all residents to have their say. Our local countryside is glorious, but surprisingly little is actually managed as space for wildlife and biodiversity. This is an opportunity to increase our natural habitats in a natural way.”
Doubling nature in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough
Pamela Abbott, Director of Natural Cambridgeshire, Co-Chair LNRS Steering Group, said:
“We have such a fabulous diversity of wildlife habitats in our area, from our internationally rare chalk streams, our beautiful bluebell and oxlip woods, our amazing fen landscapes and our parks and green spaces filled with wildflowers attracting bees and butterflies."
"We would love to hear your views on the nature recovery strategy so that together we can achieve our shared vision for doubling nature in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough.”
It runs until Thursday 11th September and is accessible online, with additional ‘drop in’ sessions scheduled throughout the region to make participation easier and more inclusive.
