North Yorkshire Council would like to invite you to a local in-person event for farmers and land managers (please see dates and locations below), to consider how nature can be encouraged alongside your business. Actions for nature not only improve prospects for wildlife but can also help your business become more resilient to the effects of climate change and deliver wider environmental benefits. We are keen to hear your views and learn from your local knowledge and expertise in managing land and food production, so that we can feed this into the emerging Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) for North Yorkshire and York, which the council is preparing following our appointment by Defra. The LNRS is expected to better assist farmers and land managers to access Environmental Land Management schemes (ELMs) incentives and Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) opportunities, by guiding where actions for nature in their areas will be most beneficial. The LNRS will be a useful resource on which farmers and land managers can draw to inform their applications for funding. We are working in partnership with the National Farmers Union (NFU) and will be holding daytime and evening events across the county in late-February and would welcome your views and for you to learn more about the LNRS. Places are limited to 25 people per event and all events will be followed by a light meal.
