Notts BAG Forum 10th March

Notts Biodiversity Action Group

We have some exciting news to share with you regarding our Annual Forum Event 2021. This year’s event will be held online on Wednesday 10th March. We have been working with our partners at NTU to plan an online event, featuring 4 fantastic talks and an afternoon of amazing workshops, that you can enjoy from the comfort of your own home.

This year’s event theme is “Rewilding and Landscape Scale Approaches to Biodiversity”, and we are very lucky to have secured speakers on four topics to share their expertise:

  • Prof Alastair Driver, Director of Rewilding Britain
  • Derek Gow, Ecological Consultant, Author of “Bringing Back the Beaver”
  • Janice Bradley, Head of Nature Recovery (North) for Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust
  • Gareth Jones, Clumber Park, National Trust

A selection of workshops have also been planned for the afternoon, each highlighting an area of Nottinghamshire that has great biodiversity potential. Local specialists running each workshop will discuss opportunities that have been highlighted through the Biodiversity Opportunity Mapping process.

I have attached a programme that gives a bit more detail about the event. Big BAG Programme 2021 FINAL
