Agenda

To consider the notes of the previous meeting held on 13 December 2023.

The Oxfordshire Local Nature Partnership Manager to provide an update of important conversations and actions over the last three months that are not captured in other agenda business.

Chloe from Oxfordshire County Council to provide a progress update on the development of the Oxfordshire Local Nature Recovery Strategy. Board members are asked to consider the role their organisation can play in supporting the production and delivery of the strategy, and what the Board as a whole can do to prepare for delivery.

How do we ensure our nature recovery ambitions take into account the will of the people? Leverhulme Centre for Nature Recovery present their idea for engaging with a representative cross-section of society. The Board is asked to endorse this approach.

OLNP Nature and Health Manager to provide a progress update on the health and nature workstream, including plans for a joint event looking to engage seldom heard voices in the nature recovery conversation. The Board is asked to endorse this approach.

OLNP Nature Finance Manager to present progress on the nature finance work. The Board is asked to provide feedback on progress to date, and the concept of grouping projects thematically.

Due to Dr Prue Addison’s departure for maternity leave, changes to the membership of the Board are proposed. The Board is asked to consider and approve these changes.

Members of the Board to update one another on key matters of importance relevant to the Local Nature Partnership arising since the previous meeting, including feedback from the Future Oxfordshire Partnership process.
