The Kent and Medway Local Nature Recovery Strategy outlines the priorities for nature recovery and the proposed actions to deliver these.

These priorities apply the Lawton principles of better, bigger, more and joined up.  The priorities fall under a framework of ten ambitions, reflecting the broad and fabulous range of habitats we have in the county.

From this page you can view all the Strategy ambitions online and read the priorities and potential measures underpinning them.  They are also presented in the Strategy documents.
