In partnership with the British Ecological Society, Natural England, National Trust, RSPB, Woodland Trust, WWF, and the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology, we are organising the science symposium: Resilient Landscapes for People, Nature and Climate that will take place in Birmingham on the 24 - 25 June 2024.

The UK’s major landowning organisations are engaged in an ever-increasing number of large landscape projects to secure a more resilient future for our climate, people and nature. Most are multi-faceted intending multiple outcomes crossing the environmental, social and economic spectrum.

This 2-day BES symposium in June supports the creation of a more cohesive community around large-scale land, freshwaters and coastal/marine systems and is the first of a series of connected events delivered by our partnership (which is open to new members) to encourage the sharing of best practice, promote more standardised and effective monitoring and evaluation approaches and support the development of new projects to enhance our evidence base and ensure the most impactful outcomes.

We are very keen for this to be a transdisciplinary event and welcome contributors and attendees from practice, academia, policy, industry, commerce, infrastructure, agriculture and more.
