From strategy to action for nature
Join us for the launch of the West of England's Local Nature Recovery Strategy (LNRS). The first to be published in the country, the LNRS will set out the priorities for nature recovery across the region and map the measures to achieve them. Alongside the LNRS, the Partnership will also launch nine priority programmes, setting out how we will secure investment over the coming years to bring the strategy to life.
Date: Thurs 7 November 2024
Time: 09:30 - 16:00
Location: The Bristol Pavilion, Seat Unique Stadium (Gloucestershire County Cricket Ground), Nevil Road, Bristol BS7 9EJ
Hear from environmental leaders, politicians, businesses and other partners about the wonderful nature we have in our region, and pioneering programmes to protect, restore and create more of it.
Speakers include Bristol East MP Kerry McCarthy, Natural England Chair Tony Juniper CBE and Triodos CEO Bevis Watts. Sessions include a panel discussion with prominent funders and investors, asking how they can work together, and with partners, to accelerate the pace and scale of local nature recovery. We will hear from a cross-section of WENP partners about their commitment to deliver our shared vision, as well as from councillors across the region’s four Unitary Authorities about the role of local government in facilitating that delivery.
Delegates will enjoy the first screening of a brand new short film about the West of England’s unique nature and landscapes.
