GM Local Nature Recovery Strategy

Monday 08 September 2025

The Greater Manchester Local Nature Recovery Strategy has been developed to set out how we can all work together to tackle the biodiversity emergency and improve access to nature. It will be Greater Manchester’s first statutory strategy for nature recovery and we will monitor progress against delivery over the next decade.

In short, it sets out what we all need to do to help nature recover locally. How we can all work together towards a greener city-region, where nature is thriving and where we need to focus our efforts to have the biggest impact. You can access the draft strategy by clicking this link.

Why your views matter
GMCA are currently consulting on the draft Greater Manchester Local Nature Recovery Strategy. This public consultation will be open from November 15th 2024 and will close on January 31st 2025.

Everyone’s voice matters and GM are seeking your views on the draft strategy today. Your feedback will then be used to shape the final version of the strategy.
