Cumbria has officially launched its Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS), becoming the thirteenth LNRS to be published in England. The strategy has been led by Westmorland and Furness Council, working in close partnership with Cumberland Council, the Lake District National Park Authority, the Yorkshire Dales National Park Authority, and Natural England.
