Natural England’s Thames Solent Team covers London, Surrey, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Berkshire. The team work across a number of areas including: catchment sensitive farming, Land management, Planning, Marine Conservation zones, sustainable development and water quality. The area contains a World Heritage site, 2 National Parks, 9 Areas of Outstanding Natural Beau
ty, 20 National Nature Reserves and 567 Sites of Special Scientific Interest, many of international significance. The habitat in the area includes, Heathland, Chalk Grassland, Ancient Woodland, Wet grassland and Flood plain meadow, Historic Parks and Gardens. This region also supports thriving urban centres and strong economic growth, both of which are set to increase in the future. Consequently, our challenge as an organisation is to ensure that the region remains a great place to live, with healthy natural environments that benefit both people and the economy. We will meet this challenge by pursuing 3 core principles: (1) creating resilient landscapes and seas, (2) putting people at the heart of the environment, and (3) growing natural capital. More information on our approach can be found in our new conservation strategy. (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/conservation-21-natural-englands-conservation-strategy-for-the-21st-century
