MAKING SPACE FOR NATURE
Tuesday 8th July 2025 at Brooksby Hall
The LOCAL NATURE RECOVERY STRATEGY (LNRS) – Making Space for Nature – for Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland is to be launched at an event at Brooksby Hall on the morning of Tuesday 8th July.
The Greener Golf Network has contributed to the consultation on the strategy and has been invited to take part in the launch event. We will be having a display table alongside our partners the LEICESTERSHIRE and RUTLAND WILDLIFE TRUST, as well as contributing footage to the video montage which will be used during the event. The video montage is designed to showcase the work towards nature’s recovery already being done by the councils and their partner organisations.
“ Developed in collaboration with local authorities, government agencies, environmental organisations, farmers, land managers, communities, residents, and many supporting organisations and individual stakeholders, the strategy is designed to address the urgent challenges of habitat loss, species decline, wider environmental benefits and climate change.
The Local Nature Recovery Strategy identifies key habitats and species that require immediate attention and lays out strategic aims to increase biodiversity, improve habitat quality, and create a connected and resilient landscape for wildlife, people’s health and wellbeing and livelihoods.
The Local Nature Recovery Strategy ultimately serves as a call to action for all sectors of society to play a role in the recovery of nature, ensuring that the biodiversity and natural beauty of Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland can thrive for future generations, while at the same time supporting the lives and livelihoods of the people and communities that live and work there.”
Following this launch event, the Greener Golf Network hopes to play a full part in the implementation of the strategy, working on behalf of the golf clubs of the area.
