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.<\/p>\n
“Already, the iconic hen harrier, red squirrels, Atlantic salmon, rare bees, moths and butterflies are being helped to thrive,” he said. <\/p>\n
“Lancashire has such beautiful countryside and habitats, and this will allow them and local wildlife to flourish.”<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Roberts, the county council’s cabinet member for Rural Affairs, Environment and Communities, said the strategy was the result…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":475443,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[26],"tags":[90,56,54,55,4407],"class_list":["post-475442","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-wildlife","tag-science","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-wildlife"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/475442","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=475442"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/475442\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/475443"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=475442"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=475442"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=475442"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
