The public consultation for the Isle of Wight’s Nature Recovery Strategy is set to close this Friday, 14th February 2025.

Residents have a final opportunity to share their views on the plan aimed at revitalising the Island’s natural environment.

A plan to bring nature back to life
The strategy outlines key actions designed to support wildlife and habitats across the Isle of Wight.

It highlights species that need urgent assistance and suggests steps that individuals and organisations can take to aid nature’s recovery.

How to take part
The consultation welcomes all contributions, whether detailed feedback or simple one-line comments.

Participants are encouraged to focus on the sections they feel most passionate about, even if they cannot complete the entire survey.

The recovery plan identifies species that require additional support, with measures to protect and restore their habitats.

It also presents broader initiatives to enhance biodiversity, including habitat restoration, conservation projects and community engagement opportunities.

Final call for feedback
The consultation process is open until midnight on Friday, giving residents a couple more days to make their voices heard.
