The Hull and East Yorkshire Local Nature Partnership (HEY LNP) is pleased to announce the release of the Hull and East Yorkshire Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) — a landmark strategy setting out a shared vision for restoring and enhancing nature across the region.
Developed in partnership with local authorities, environmental organisations, land managers, communities and stakeholders, the HEY LNRS provides a clear, evidence-led framework to support nature recovery while delivering wider benefits for people, places and the local economy.
A shared plan for nature’s recovery
The Local Nature Recovery Strategy identifies:
- Priority habitats and species across Hull and East Yorkshire
- Opportunities to restore and connect nature at a landscape scale
- Practical actions that can deliver measurable environmental benefits
- Ways nature recovery can support climate resilience, health, wellbeing and sustainable growth
The strategy has been informed by robust data, mapping and local knowledge, alongside engagement with partners and communities to ensure it reflects local priorities and opportunities.
Supporting national and local ambitions
Local Nature Recovery Strategies are a key part of the Government’s environmental framework under the Environment Act 2021. The HEY LNRS will help guide future investment, land management decisions and policy development, ensuring nature recovery is embedded across plans and projects in the area.
By aligning local action with national objectives, the strategy supports efforts to halt biodiversity loss, improve ecosystem resilience and create better places for people and wildlife to thrive.
Get involved
The HEY LNRS is designed to be a living strategy — supporting collaboration and ongoing action across sectors. Landowners, organisations, community groups and residents all have a role to play in delivering nature recovery across Hull and East Yorkshire.
