Herefordshire's Local Nature Recovery Strategy - to restore nature across the county
Local residents, environmental groups, landowners, farmers and charities have come together with Herefordshire Council to launch a new collaborative approach to protecting and restoring Herefordshire’s natural environment. Together they have shaped the county’s first ever Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) - a major new plan with 15 habitat priorities designed to protect, enhance and reconnect the landscapes, habitats and species that make Herefordshire special.
The LNRS was published on August 21st 2026 by Herefordshire Council. We would like to thank everyone who participated in the public consultation and helped us to shape the LNRS.
