About this event

  • 3 hours 30 minutes

If you have a background or interest in public health, public rights of way and connecting people with nature, this event is a great opportunity to get together and contribute to the development of the Kent and Medway Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS).


We know that time spent in nature and being able to access nature, makes a huge contribution to public health. In this way the natural environment has a key role to play in the preventative agenda as part of wider health determinants.


The MS4N project team want to ensure that the LNRS priorities and measures identified for habitats and species are in alignment with your priorities for health and access and where possible, ensure that the LNRS can help to achieve these priorities.


Under the LNRS regulations, health and access are described as important co benefits of nature recovery action. We need to ensure nothing is overlooked in relation to LNRS and consider how health, access, and connection priorities across a range of strategies can be taken forward either within the LNRS or in parallel to it.


Agenda to follow nearer to the date of this event.

Organized by

Making Space for Nature in Kent and Medway

Making Space for Nature in Kent and Medway is a county-wide project working with partners and stakeholders to collaboratively establish shared priorities for the delivery of nature recovery and environmental improvements, in order to create a network of wildlife-rich places across the county. This local nature recovery strategy is one of 48 - together these will cover the whole of England with no gaps or overlaps to deliver the government's commitment to ending the decline of nature and supporting its recovery.

The project wants to involve as many people as possible and will be doing so through a variety or events, meetings and workshops during the course of the project.
