People in Birmingham share views to help shape future of nature
People in Birmingham are being asked to share their views on the future of nature in the city as part of a major new project.
The Birmingham Nature Partnership, a collaboration between Birmingham City Council, the University of Birmingham and the Wildlife Trust for Birmingham and the Black Country, is asking people to share their experiences and aspirations for nature in the city.
The partnership is developing a ‘Nature Recovery Plan’ for Birmingham, which will set out a vision for the future of nature in the city and identify the actions needed to achieve it.
The plan will be used to guide decision-making on planning, development and investment in the city, and will help to create a more sustainable and resilient Birmingham for everyone.
Members of the public are being asked to take part in a survey to share their views on nature in Birmingham. The survey is available online at www.birminghamnaturepartnership.org.uk and will be open until December 16.
People are also being asked to share their photos and videos of nature in Birmingham on social media using the hashtag #BrumNature.
The project is being supported by a £100,000 grant from the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation.
