Inner Forth Habitat Network Webinar 3 Feb 15:00 - booking open, free event
Thursday 3 February 2022, 15:00 – 17:00. Free. Book at https://bit.ly/3A7sZsf
In early 2019, the Inner Forth Futures partnership piloted an approach to developing a regional scale habitat network. This webinar will share learning from development and use of this network with planners and policy makers considering the future implementation of habitat networks.
The event will explore the collaborative approach used to develop this regional scale habitat network and explain the ecological coherence approach that underpins it. By describing the Inner Forth Habitat Network tools created, the aim is to support practitioners in translating national policy on nature networks into local plans and making development management decisions that optimise the benefits for nature.
There will be time for Q&A following talks from:
-
Kate Fuller, Project Manager, Inner Forth Futures - Creation of the IF Habitat Network maps and tools.
-
Emilie Wadsworth, Director of Development, Green Action Trust - The fit with National Policy, including Draft Fourth National Planning Framework (NPF4) and the Central Scotland Green Network Plan.
-
Speakers from the partnership on practical uses of the tools
