The National Association for AONBs have collectively committed to doing more for nature and jointly signed the Colchester Declaration in 2019. Nature Recovery Plans are a key element to the shared vision of AONBs to create resilient landscapes that are a great place for wildlife and will help target investment in nature going forward.
The Tamar Valley AONB is actively involved in the Nature Recovery Network developments in Devon and Cornwall and has partially fulfilled the Colchester Declaration by contributing to the draft Local Nature Recovery Strategy for Cornwall – one of five pilot areas selected across the UK. The team is currently working on a National Recovery Plan Framework for the Tamar Valley and this will be available as a summary document in late 2021.
