The hub supports the ambitions set out in Suffolk and Norfolk's Local Nature Recovery Strategies, which were published in October 2025. The strategies identify where action to restore nature can have the greatest benefit for wildlife, communities and the wider environment, helping to guide future conservation and environmental improvement work.
Councillor Morgan Brobyn, Suffolk County Council’s Cabinet Member for Food, Waste and Rural Affairs, said:
“Across Suffolk, individuals, communities and organisations are already making a real difference for nature through projects both large and small.
“The Local Nature Recovery Hub provides an opportunity to capture that work, share ideas and demonstrate the collective impact these projects are having on our environment.
“Nature recovery plays an important role in helping communities adapt to environmental challenges. Healthy habitats can help reduce flood risk, improve resilience to extreme weather, support biodiversity, strengthen food production and create attractive natural spaces for people to enjoy.
“Whether it's creating habitats for wildlife, improving local green spaces or helping people connect with nature, every action contributes to a healthier and more resilient Suffolk.”
The new resource also provides access to funding opportunities, case studies, volunteering opportunities and practical guidance, helping people develop ideas and find support for future projects.
Suffolk and Norfolk were among the first areas in England to publish Local Nature Recovery Strategies. Together with strategies being developed elsewhere in the country, they will help create a coordinated national approach to protecting and restoring nature.
