West Yorkshire LNRS Consultation

The strategy sets out plans for how and where to help nature recover across West Yorkshire. It focuses on the areas where action is most needed, where it will make the biggest difference, and deliver the best results for the environment.

The strategy aims to enhance the environment by increasing biodiversity, as well as delivering wider benefits such as reducing flood risks and improving air quality—benefits that support everyone’s health.

The consultation includes a survey and a digital map for you to explore and comment on. You are encouraged to share your thoughts, especially if you are involved in farming or land management, so that the strategy reflects your views and experience.

You can participate in the consultation via this link.

As part of the consultation, West Yorkshire Combined Authority is also offering online 1:1s for farmers and landowners if you want to discuss the strategy and digital map in further detail. These can be booked from 20 October using the link above.

West Yorkshire’s Local Nature Recovery Strategy is scheduled to be published in spring 2026.
