A huge ‘Thank you!’ to everyone for such strong, positive participation with the draft Oxfordshire Local Nature Recovery Strategy. We received 2,143 responses during the consultation in October 2024 and have been very busy carefully analysing the information you shared with us.
We are now sharing a report summarising the consultation responses, produced by our partners at the Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery. You can find this report here.
74% of you agreed or strongly agreed that it sets out a helpful set of priorities for Oxfordshire’s biodiversity and you also gave us lots of good ideas to build into the final version of the LNRS. Some examples of changes we have already made:
When the final LNRS is published, we will also publish a version of this report that describes ‘What the LNRS did’ in response to ‘What you said’.
We have made many changes to the draft strategy and will continue to do so until the final version is ready for publication in Autumn 2025.
Thank you for your patience while we ensure proper consideration is given to the large number of responses.
