Cumbria Local Nature Recovery Strategy: Challenges and Opportunities
Megan Lindeman (Westmorland and Furness Council)
08 Feb 2024
Cumbria is one of five areas that were selected to pilot the development of a Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS) in 2021. Megan will reflect on the lessons learnt from the pilot scheme and how Cumbria is building on the work that has already been done in the development of the current Cumbria LNRS. Cumbria is a large and ecologically diverse county; ranging from the highest peak in England to the coast, Cumbria’s habitats vary from montane to lowland wetland, coastal and estuarine to blanket bog, woodland to the productive grasslands of the Eden Valley. The presentation will discuss the challenges and opportunities posed by developing an LNRS across such a large, predominantly rural, and ecologically diverse county.
Megan Lindeman is the Technical Support Officer for the Cumbria LNRS and works for Westmorland and Furness Council which are the appointed Responsible Authority for Cumbria. She has over 10 years of experience working in ecological consultancy, specialising in the production and delivery of habitat management plans for a range of projects including renewables, infrastructure, housing, and conservation schemes. She specialises in project management and strategy development, with a particular specialism in upland habitat management and peatland restoration.
