In North East Wales, we have greener more inviting urban areas providing multiple benefits and supporting people in leading healthier more active lifestyles. Nature-based solutions deliver a wide range of environmental and health and well-being benefits for our communities.

North East Wales will be known for its high-quality woodlands. New woodland creation will reflect landscape character and local culture, whilst delivering the wealth of environmental, economic and social benefits that woodlands and forests have to offer.

We live in a vibrant and biodiverse North East Wales where we reverse the decline in biodiversity, and key species and habitats are valued and understood by its communities.

A sustainable, resilient agricultural food and land management system which supports livelihoods, protects soil and water, maintains and enhances biodiversity whilst also reducing greenhouse gas emissions significantly contributes to public good.
