The 2019 conference will be hosted by the National Trust and the Lake District National Park Authority. Based at Ambleside; Lake Windermere from the 9th to the 11th October and through a series of presentations, workshops and fieldtrips,the conference will look at topical talking points such as rewilding, biodiversity connectivity and pollinators. We will discuss landscape projects which feature current and future issues around conservation, farming, water catchment and heritage protection – and hear about the experiences, ideas and best practice from fellow countryside professionals looking to encourage a wider vision for countryside management beyond a park or site boundaries.
