Led by Warwickshire Coventry and Solihull Local Nature Partnership | WCSLNP in partnership with the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust and the Warwickshire & West Midlands Association of Local Councils (WALC), this free workshop is open to Councils and community group representatives.
The workshop is designed to help your Council develop, consult on, and deliver your own Local Nature Action Plan (LNAP).
In each of the sessions (you can attend either or both), you will hear from Matthew Lipton, South Gloucestershire Council’s Biodiversity Assets and Commons Manager on their widely disseminated Local Nature Action Plans guidance for town and parish councils (southglos.gov.uk). This step-by-step guide was developed specifically for town and parish councils to help them act on the ecological crisis the world is facing.
In the rest of the session, you will work in groups to discuss how you might start to assemble an Action Plan, supported by Matthew and colleagues from the Warwickshire Wildlife Trust and WALC.
Going forwards the Local Nature Action Plans for Warwickshire will be informed by Warwickshire's Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS). The Local Nature Recovery Strategy for Warwickshire will be produced by the Responsible Authority, Warwickshire County Council,Link opens in a new window working with the Local Nature Partnership.
