Decision details

“Staffordshire is a stunning rural county but, like much of the UK, nature is under pressure here too. We must act now to help nature Recover. 

That is why we have developed this Natural Environment Strategy, which sets out the actions we will take in the coming years to care for nature on our land and through our activities. This will form part of wider efforts across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, which will be identified through the local nature recovery strategy we are leading with our partners and stakeholders. 

By helping nature, we are also helping ourselves. Nature provides important goods and services that support our wellbeing and quality of life. From the insects that pollinate our food crops, to trees storing carbon, nature is essential to us.”  

Simon Tagg, Cabinet Member for Environment, Infrastructure and Climate Change
