Farmers, growers and land managers play a vital role in tackling climate change, biodiversity loss and food security. Local Nature Recovery Strategies (LNRSs) will help focus these efforts by setting out where and how to take action for nature. With 48 strategies covering the whole of England, there’s still time to shape your local plan. In this post, we'll give an overview and explain how to get involved.

Farmer Martin Hole took part in the Cuckmere and Pevensey Levels test and trial.
