We are working with Dorset Council who are coordinating the creation of a local nature recovery strategy. They are working closely with Natural England and a wide range of local people and organisations.
The strategy will help:
- bring together and showcase the great things people area already doing for nature
- set Dorset's nature recovery priorities
- show opportunities where areas for nature can be created or improved
- suggest activities which will help deliver more nature across Dorset
- Dorset meet the government's goal of having 30 percent of land, rivers and seas managed for nature by 2030
We know in urban areas that access to green space and nature is crucial to people’s health and wellbeing. Allowing nature to thrive, through our Nature Pledge, and commitment to the Climate and Ecological Emergency, is essential for people and wildlife. The strategy will identify priority areas for nature, help landowners and communities to make a difference for wildlife and support nature recovery as a future priority.
