Welcome to the draft Devon Local Nature Recovery Strategy
– 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 (LNRS) 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 public consultation has now ended. Huge thanks to everyone who took part. We’re processing the responses and taking them into account as we edit this website and the LNRS Viewer. We aim to have completed all the edits by December 2025, after which the LNRS needs to be signed off by all Devon local authorities. This sign-off process will be finished in spring 2026 .
Please share what you’re doing to help nature
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 restored a wildflower meadow, please let us know by adding it to the delivery map on the LNRS Viewer.
