27th January 2010, 1pm at The Barn, Lancashire Wildlife Trust HQ.
The afternoon event will explore the potential and practicalities of embedding biodiversity in urban greenspace schemes, drawing upon organisations, expertise and case studies set to inspire us to build upon the already demonstrated aptitude in Lancashire.
In a series of presentations, speakers will cover a wide variety of subjects. James Hitchmough (Dept. Landscape, University of Sheffield) will provide a broad overview of urban biodiversity and greenspace, drawing on landscape management/design expertise and include experiences from working on the Olympic park for London 2012. Sue France (CEO, Green Estate, Sheffield) will reveal how their social enterprise is delivering innovative biodiverse urban greenspace in Sheffield. Grant Luscombe and Richard Scott (Landlife) will add to the day with their work bringing nature and people closer together on Merseyside. Lancashire County Council will also provide case studies for delivering linear corridors for further greenspace delivery (K Horsley, Environmental Projects Team), and also delivery of biodiversity on multi-use post-industrial/Brownfield sites (REMADE).
