Public consultation on the draft Gloucestershire Local Nature Recovery Strategy has opened, 8 September 2025, and runs to 19 October 2025. There is some summary information available on https://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/planning-and-environment/ecology-and-landscape/gloucestershire-local-nature-recovery-strategy/
This strategy will be a key resource in relation to the Biodiversity Duty on public authorities. It would be great to hear local knowledge from parish and town councils to help improve the strategy before publication.
