Worcester City Council has created a biodiversity strategy to help wildlife thrive across the city.

The council, which is responsible for more than 260 acres of green space, including 24 conservation sites, wants to stop the decline of important wildlife species.

The strategy, which has been supported by councillors, sets out a plan for the next five years to stop biodiversity loss and boost wildlife habitats.

Key goals include improvements in tree canopy cover, the creation of wildlife corridors, and a five per cent net gain in biodiversity across council-managed land by 2030.
