This draft Dorset Local Nature Recovery Strategy provides a 10-year framework to enable everyone to work together to achieve a shared vision for nature recovery across Dorset.
Dorset’s natural environment and its benefits hold real value to us and the wildlife we share this county with, however, over the years, we have weakened this asset. Dorset’s local nature recovery strategy marks an end to this loss and decline.
The co-produced strategy identifies key pressures and opportunities for nature recovery and sets 12 nature recovery priorities supported by detailed activities. It’s spatial element, the Local Habitat Map, will help target efforts to achieve the greatest gains for biodiversity and the wider environment. Together these tools ensure a strategic, collective and effective approach to nature recovery across the county.
