Landscape Recovery is one of Defra’s Environmental Land Management Schemes (ELMS). It supports large-scale, long-term projects that restore nature and deliver environmental benefits across whole landscapes. Round 1 and 2 pilot projects are nearing the end of their 2-year Project Development Phase.

Round 2 project, the Ouse Washes Landscape Recovery (OWLR) project, led by RSPB, is an ambitious 30-year partnership project, delivering habitat creation across the Fens. The project aims to help in tackling the joint nature and climate emergency while supporting local farmers’ livelihoods.

Speakers: Joanna Lane, Landscape Recovery Project Liaison Officer, Environment Agency and Jonathan D Taylor, Senior Project Manager, The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB).
