Have a little insight into the Nature North Conference that took place in Newcastle yesterday. It was a day to bring people together, across sectors to think about our joint ambitions for nature recovery in the north - for people, places, climate and the economy.

We are excited to be at #NatureNorth24 in Newcastle today working to secure investment in nature. Part of #COTN24 , together we can unlock the benefits of #nature for the north for #climatechange resilience and boost local economies. #NorthTogether

Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is now live. 🏡

Confirmation of the go live date for #BiodiversityNetGain legislation is good news for #NatureRecovery .🥬

We have worked with Defra and developers, landowners, local authorities, and environmental NGOs, on the policy to ensure development has a positive impact on biodiversity.

Disturbance from dogs is a real problem for farmers. At this time of year pregnant sheep can miscarry their lambs when they're stressed.

Please:
🐶 Keep dogs on a short lead
🐑 Give sheep space
❗ Remain calm around livestock
