Biodiversity Duty Report 2025 to 2026
This report demonstrates how Stockton-on-Tees Borough Council has met the requirements of the enhanced Biodiversity Duty under the Environment Act 2021, and outlines the actions we will take to protect and enhance biodiversity between now and the next reporting period in 2031.
Despite challenges such as climate change, pollution and invasive species, the Council is committed to expanding its "Better for Nature" programme, increasing tree cover, improving data and monitoring, restoring more habitats and supporting the new Tees Valley Local Nature Recovery Strategy, creating a healthier, greener and more resilient borough for people and wildlife.
