Nature and biodiversity

We want to take a greater role in the management, protection and enhancement of the natural environment.

Leicester’s geology, land use and human history have helped to shape the general character of the landscape and influence the biodiversity found in Leicester today.

As well as Leicester’s obvious urban environment, the city has retained many natural and historic features and created new habitats of natural green space to help conserve our wildlife.

Our aim is to conserve and enhance a range of habitats and associated species that characterise the city of Leicester, whilst also improving and enhancing ecological connectivity to support the recovery of nature across the region.
