Farmers, landowners and managers are being asked their opinions on how wildlife can be best conserved and enhanced across the landscapes of Greater Lincolnshire.
Your opinions will help develop a Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) that shapes how we recover nature, and which guides opportunities for funding to work with, or restore nature, on your land through Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) and Environmental Land Management Schemes (ELMS).
With your help, the strategy has the potential to steer opportunities for nature-based solutions such as flood risk management and sequestering carbon through new trees, woodlands and healthier soils.
Want to contribute to nature recovery and diversify your revenue streams? LNRSs give you an opportunity to identify places where nature recovery will have the most benefit and direct future funding.
We need you to ensure The Greater Lincolnshire Local Nature Recovery Strategy is realistic and achievable, while still protecting food security for future generations.
Have your say by completing this short 15-minute survey.
Visit www.letstalk.lincolnshire.gov.uk/local-nature-farmer-survey to complete the survey before Monday 2 September 2024.
Cllr Colin Davie, executive member for environment at Lincolnshire County Council, said:
“Putting together a Local Nature Recovery Strategy for Lincolnshire will help to identify suitable locations for nature recovery activities in the future, and in turn, tap into funding for these activities that will help deliver the strategy’s goals.”
