Nature And Landscape

#LC Shropshire Hills Landscape Connections

This is an ambitious project to restore and enhance the natural and cultural heritage of the Shropshire Hills. By improving habitats, strengthening ecological connectivity and building climate resilience, the project will help ensure that wildlife and people can thrive both now and into the future. Working with farmers, under-served communities and young people, we will support long-term stewardship of land, soils, water and habitats. Through inclusive participation, farmers will shape priorities for nature recovery; community partners will identify and remove barriers to accessing the countryside; and young people will co-design opportunities that deepen their connection to nature and heritage. Using a proven Community Organising Framework, the project embeds participation, shared decision making and collaboration. Communities will be supported to lead, shape solutions and act for nature. The project will strengthen the resilience of the Shropshire Hills and inspire more people to understand, enjoy and care for this special landscape.
