Heath said it was a “pivotal moment” for nature in Surrey.
“The Local Nature Recovery Strategy gives us a real opportunity to reverse decades of decline and create a thriving, connected natural environment that benefits both wildlife and people,” she said.
Under the plans, the county council said it was aiming to encourage environmentally-friendly land use, while also slowing down pollution and the effects of flooding.
It also plans to promote the use of nature-friendly methods of taking care of the land, such as using grass-eating plants to maintain field rather than lawn mowers.
It is hoping the strategy will also keep public spaces clean and save water.
Lisa Creaye-Griffin, director of the Surrey Nature Partnership, said: “This marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for nature recovery in Surrey.”
The consultation on the plans will run until 25 September and is available on the Surrey County Council website, external.
The plans will then be reviewed and agreed by the council’s cabinet in early 2026.
