ES RDE 139 - Identifying opportunities for strategic, landscape-scale nature rec · NATURAL ENGLAND

Natural England Self-Service Direct Award. This project will provide key evidence and data to inform this work. Focusing on more challenging cross-border locations, where two Local Habitat Maps that have been produced using different local data, methodologies, and priorities, this research aims to overcome barriers to RAs in carrying out their responsibilities under Task 3 of the delivery role.

The research will identify a shortlist of sites where landscape-scale projects may be viable based on mapped and unmapped LNRS measures, additional environmental and contextual factors, potential ecosystem service provision, as well as possible barriers, challenges, and risks.
