Roberts, the county council’s cabinet member for Rural Affairs, Environment and Communities, said the strategy was the result of more than two years of partnership work.
“Already, the iconic hen harrier, red squirrels, Atlantic salmon, rare bees, moths and butterflies are being helped to thrive,” he said.
“Lancashire has such beautiful countryside and habitats, and this will allow them and local wildlife to flourish.”
Lucy Abram, Natural England’s deputy director for Cheshire to Lancashire, said the strategy was a “vital tool” in restoring nature across England and praised the county’s collaborative approach.
Dr Rachael Antwis, Director of Nature Recovery at the Lancashire, Manchester and North Merseyside Wildlife Trust, said the plan would help embed nature “into the fabric” of the county, and provide a strong foundation for future work.
