South Yorkshire Local Nature Partnership (SYLNP) is a network of organisations from across the voluntary, public and private sectors of South Yorkshire working together to achieve our common vision:

“South Yorkshire’s natural environment is valued, enhanced, celebrated and enjoyed by everyone and is recognised for the essential contribution it makes to the local economy and peoples’ quality of life.”

To help achieve this vision the SYLNP will aim to ensure South Yorkshire’s natural environment is:

      1. Valued, enhanced and protected
        By:
        Seeking opportunities for investment and enhancement at a landscape scale Identifying & minimising risks to the natural environment
        Promoting existing and new partnerships that benefit the natural environment
        Promoting appropriate natural capital approaches and investment
        Identifying and overseeing significant opportunities
        Coordinating and overseeing major project development


      2. Recognised for its contribution to a sense of place and enhanced quality of life for all
        By:
        Promoting evidenced based case studies to health & wellbeing boards, local authorities, others
        Defining, celebrating and promoting SY natural assets – sense of place – and how this contributes to the visitor economy


      3. At the heart of decision-making for sustainable social and economic development
        By:
        Influencing key decision-makers: SCR CA/LEP, Councillors, Mayor etc
        Actively engaging in the duty to co-operate on Local Plans
        Identifying and promoting opportunities to support sustainable development in SY, for example through influencing:
        Planning development and delivery, infrastructure investment, including green & blue infrastructure, flood protection & natural flood risk management, green prescribing, air quality improvement, climate change adaptation/mitigation
