Abstract

This dataset defines the boundaries of twelve Nature Recovery Projects forming a key part of the 25 Year Environment Plan’s commitment to deliver the Nature Recovery Network (NRN). The twelve projects included in this dataset are: East of Eden, Purple Horizons, Somerset Coast Levels and Moors, G7 Legacy, Wye Valley, Wendling Beck, Lost Wetlands, Heathland Connections, Bradford & South Pennines, Seaford to Eastbourne: Drink-in the Downs, Tees Estuary Recovering Nature (TERN), Cambridge Nature Network. The boundary for the Lost Wetlands Project has not yet been confirmed and is subject to change. The Nature Recovery Projects form a key part of the 25 Year Environment Plan’s commitment to deliver the Nature Recovery Network (NRN). They aim to follow Lawton principles to create more, bigger, better and, crucially, connected, sustained and functional wildlife-rich places. Places that counter biodiversity loss, adapt to climate change and support the needs of local communities. They will provide natural solutions to reduce carbon emissions, enhance our landscapes and cultural heritage, manage flood risk and enable  people to enjoy and connect with nature where they live, work and play – benefiting health and wellbeing. This dataset shows the location and boundaries of Nature Recovery Projects throughout England. The main outline of each one was provided by the project lead, and in some cases these were refined by following geographic or administrative boundairies as listed below: OS Open rivers (OGL), AONBs(OGL), County Boundaries(OGL), OS Open Roads(OGL), SSSIs(OGL), Environmentally Sensitive Areas(OGL), Flood Risk Zone 3(OGL), NNRs(OGL), Marine Conservation Zone(OGL).
