As partners in the South Yorkshire Local Nature Recovery Strategy, we know it's important to get responses from communities who care deeply about the places they live and work in.

That's why we're sharing a self-facilitated workshop pack that any group, organisation or community can use to run their own consultation session and submit a collective response. It's straightforward, takes under an hour, and no specialist knowledge is needed. Everything is included.

Libraries, parish councils, Girl Guides, Scouts, conservation volunteers, community groups – if you work with people who care about nature in South Yorkshire, this one's for you.

Please share this with anyone in your network who might want to get involved. The consultation closes Friday 31 July – every collective voice makes South Yorkshire’s strategy stronger. 🌿
