Executive Group

The Biodiversity Action Plan Executive Group meets approximately every 3 months to guide the implementation of the Plan. This includes topics such as identifying potential threat or opportunities for Lancashire’s biodiversity, sharing information and guiding current biodiversity projects. They also guide the current contract with Natural England and DEFRA, who provide the Biodiversity Manager funding, oversee budgets and make quick decisions.
