Local Nature Recovery Strategy for Hampshire

Closed on

From 12 May to 23 June 2025 residents’ and stakeholders’ views were sought on the draft Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) for Hampshire.

The consultation is now closed and the feedback is being processed.

Local Nature Recovery Strategies (LNRS) are a new system of plans for nature recovery covering the whole of England. They are a key mechanism for planning and delivering the National Nature Recovery Network.

The draft LNRS for Hampshire and the Local Habitat Map have been developed in partnership with key local partners and a wide range of experts, stakeholders, agencies, organisations and communities across Hampshire and adjacent areas who were interested in helping to deliver nature recovery. We have also created a summary document.
