Paul Killip is the Local Nature Recovery Strategy Project Manager for Leicestershire, Leicester City, and Rutland.

This lecture introduces the Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS), a collaborative blueprint for restoring and connecting the natural environment. It explores the key habitats and species identified for protection, the role of agriculture as a partner in nature recovery, and the importance of cross-sector collaboration. Emphasis is placed on embedding nature into planning and community life, with the aim of delivering measurable, locally owned environmental outcomes.

The Sowter Memorial Lecture is dedicated to Frederick Sowter, F.L.S. (1899-1972), one of our early members and an important botanist. You can read more about Frederick Sowter here.
