Nature is amazing
We can’t live without it

But nature is in crisis and we need to act now

Welcome to the draft Devon Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS)

– a strategy for the whole of Devon, including Plymouth and Torbay

We’re in a nature crisis. The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries in the world. However, nature is resilient, humans are creative and we can all help to restore nature across Devon.

The Devon Local Nature Recovery Strategy gives an overview of Devon’s wildlife and sets out priorities and actions to help nature recover. It’s a tool to help us all do our bit to create a wildlife-rich Devon, today and for generations to come.

The strategy is out for public consultation until the 5th November 2025. Please explore this website and then complete the consultation questionnaire. We’d welcome your feedback.

There’s lots of great work going on across Devon to help nature. We’d love to know what you’re doing. Whether you’ve dug a pond, planted a woodland or a restored a wildflower meadow, please let us know by adding it to the Viewer.
