Case study – Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Local Nature Recovery Strategy
The Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent Local Nature Recovery Strategy is being developed by Staffordshire County Council, with support from partners across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent. The strategy aims to identify areas in Staffordshire which are a priority for nature recovery, and will enable communities, land owners and anyone else interested in helping the wildlife and nature of Staffordshire to see where they can make the biggest difference, and co-ordinate their efforts based on data and evidence.
Keep an eye out on Staffordshire County Council communications to find out more and give your input into the strategy https://staffsandstokelnrs.co.uk/
