Help Us To Help Nature Recover! Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent LNRS - Public Consultation

We are seeking your views on the draft LNRS.

We need your thoughts and suggestions on how to help nature recover. We want your input to the draft Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) for Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, the purpose of which is to identify:

Areas of particular importance for biodiversity;

Areas that could become of particular importance for biodiversity, i.e. locations where there are opportunities to improve, connect, and create habitat most likely to provide the greatest benefit for nature; and,

Outcomes, actions, and targets for nature’s recovery across a range of different habitat types and species.

Your feedback will help to finalise the strategy before it is published.

All responses to this consultation will remain anonymous. The anonymised results will be published after the consultation closes. Please submit your response by 5.00pm on Monday 27th July 2026.
