OUR PROJECTS
The GLNP is an organisation that supports its network to deliver projects and initiatives that place nature at the heart of decision-making and help communities and individuals forge better connections with the natural environment. Below are just some of the projects the partnership has supported or been involved in over the past few years. Click on the image to find out more, read the reports, or participate in the project.
Gloucestershire Nature and Climate Fund
The GLNP and GFirst LEP are establishing a fund to leveage investment in natural solutions to the ecological and climate emergencies. Delviering off-site biodiversity net gain, and helping local authorities and businesses get to net zero, while enhancing quality of life and the resilience of our wonderful county.
Biodiversity Net Gain
Gloucestershire LNP is developing a County-wide approach to delivering this planning requirement. Priorities for offsite delivery will be guided by the Nature Recovery Network.
Nature Recovery Network
As part of supporting Defra to deliver the 25 Year Environmental Plan locally, Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust have produced a local Nature Recovery Network map which shows spatial distribution of habitats connectivity, resilience and opportunity for enhancement.
Gloucestershire 2050 Vision
We hosted a partnership workshop in response to the Glos2050 Vision. We collated many opinions and ideas to create a new vision - a Green Gloucestershire fit for the future.
Nature Map
A strategic approach to showing the best places to maintain and extend terrestrial habitats at a county scale. A spatial tool for Planners and Local Authorities.
Severn Vale Regional Park
The LNP is working closely with partners to explore the value, location and purpose of designating the Severn Vale a Regional Park.
Naturally Healthy Month
Each May everyone is invited to get out in the natural environment to help their physical and mental health and wellbeing as part of Naturally Healthy Month which runs across the South West LNPs.
Green Infrastructure
Green infrastructure is a network of multi-functional green space and other green features, urban and rural, which can deliver quality of life and environmental benefits for communities. Covid has highlighted the importance of this for our health and wellbeing.
European Funding Applications
Making the most of the European Rural Development Fund by supporting applications from our partners across Gloucestershire.
Gloucestershire Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP)
Whilst the BAP ceased to be in 2012, the last iteration from 2000 has been archived here. The framework was subsumed by the GLNP as Nature Map, which is now being reworked into the new Nature Recovery Network.
Gloucestershire Tree Strategy
The Gloucestershire Tree Strategy has been co-created by many partners of the LNP to guide a strategic, joined-up, best practice approach to tree planting and woodland creation in Gloucestershire.
Ecosystem and Natural Capital Mapping
We are developing a map which will show the relative value of Natural Capital in the county, and where opportunities exist to enhance ecosystem services.
Building With Nature
Supporting the inception and development of this new national benchmark for the implementation of high-quality green infrastructure.
Nature Improvement Areas
Landscape-scale initiatives aimed to ensure land is used sustainably to achieve multiple benefits for people, wildlife and the local economy.
Gloucestershire Nature-Based Project Map
This tool will help us identify spatially where all environmental activities are occurring across the county, what goals of the 25 YEP we are delivering, encourage collaboration and sharing of best practice. Submit your project now!
Local Industrial Strategy
We worked closely with the LEP to ensure that the industrial strategy prioritises the natural environment, and support their natural capital approach to growth.
COVID-19
Build Back Better
We coordinated the Envirnoment and Climate Action Group to produce an evidence and actions report to guide a clean, green and just recovery from the COVID-19 crisis.
