Those active in nature's recovery
Across Sussex and Brighton & Hove, community groups, voluntary organisations, partnerships and local councils are already working to benefit our natural environment, whether by restoring or maintaining our green and wilder spaces, demanding action on climate change and biodiversity loss, providing education or access to nature, or by encouraging more sustainable ways of living to name a few.
These incredible local efforts include (but are not limited to):
- 'Friends of’ groups who care for our parks and green spaces.
- Local environmental, community and faith groups.
- Voluntary organisations and other not-for-profits.
- Forums, platforms and networks that host or coordiante smaller groups.
- Active local councils.
These groups and organisations play a vital role in making Sussex greener, wilder and more sustainable.
Many will also have existing priorities and projects, as well as ecological knowledge of their local area and expertise in implementing actions for nature. Because of this, they can play an essential role in helping to create and deliver Local Nature Recovery Strategies.
Tell us about your projects, plans and priorities
If you represent a community group, organisation, local council or other not for profit, we'd love to hear from you. You may already have places for nature or particular habitats or species you are concerned about or have plans for. These can be added to the long list of priorities for nature's recovery that is at the heart of every Local Nature Recovery Strategy.
Events
We'll be running a series of online briefing sessions for representatives of groups and organisations active in nature's recovery in March of 2024, followed by workshops later in the year. The dates for these will be announced in due course. Check back here or sign up to our newsletter for the latest updates.
Could your project be an LNRS case study?
If you have delivered nature recovery or related projects in your local area, we'd love to hear about them. If a project has had significant impact whether for nature, for people or wider envrionmental benefits, and you're happy for us to do so, we may feature it as a case study on this website and in the LNRS strategy documents. To let us know about an existing project, take our survey.
