Farmers, landowners, and managers are being asked their opinions on how wildlife can be best conserved and enhanced across the landscapes of Greater Lincolnshire.
Their opinions will help develop a Local Nature Recovery Strategy that shapes how nature can recover, and which guides opportunities for funding to work with, or restore nature, on swathes of Lincolnshire through Biodiversity Net Gain and Environmental Land Management Schemes.
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.
“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.”
He added: “We need you to ensure The Greater Lincolnshire Local Nature Recovery Strategy is realistic and achievable, while still protecting food security for future generations.” He encouraged farmers and landowners to take part in a 15-minute survey on the Lincolnsire County Council web site.
