Isle of Wight
Local Nature Recovery Strategy

It's a wrap!  

The Isle of Wight LNRS survey is now complete.

Thanks very much to everyone who has taken the time to contribute to this final public consultation on the draft Isle of Wight Local Nature Recovery Strategy. There's been an excellent response from across the Island community!

The Island Nature team are collating comments, feedback and mapped suggestions straightaway. All contributions as well as LNRS responses will be available to read online in Spring 2025. 

We will keep you posted!
