Environmental Land Management Schemes (ELMS): Landscape Recovery

20+ Environment Land Management Schemes ()

Habitat and ecosystem restoration ()

Positive climate and nature outcomes ()

The Landscape Recovery scheme is one of the Government’s Environmental Land Management schemes (ELMS). It funds the development of landscape scale projects in England, to produce beneficial environmental and climate outcomes through habitat and ecosystem restoration.

Landscape Recovery projects use public and private funding, with the scheme aimed at landowners and managers who want to take a large-scale approach to producing positive environmental and climate outcomes on their land, such as improving soil health, enhancing biodiversity, reducing flood risks, and promoting carbon sequestration.

ELMS Landscape Recovery fits well with The Wildlife Trusts’ goal of bringing about nature’s recovery, as they aim to restore nature and natural processes at landscape scale. Trusts have the local knowledge, contacts and nature expertise to lead and input effectively to these projects.

The role of nature markets

Whilst the Landscape Recovery scheme is supported by Government funds, it is designed so that each project will also bring in private finance through nature markets.
