Nature 2030 releases new report including a roadmap for how local councils can boost Britain's biodiversity through improved road verge management

Campaigners are today calling on local government to seize the opportunity to turn road verges into wildlife corridors that can deliver a major increase in UK biodiversity.

That is the headline recommendation from campaign group Nature 2030 and global charity Plantlife's new report Restoring a Green Britain, which was published today and highlights how road verges have "particular significance" for Britain's efforts to reverse biodiversity decline.

The report reveals how verges feature up nearly 45 per cent of the UK's total plant diversity and can be home to 87 species that are threatened with extinction.
