CMA Events & Training

National Science Learning Centre, University of York
9, 10 & 11 September 2008
The 10th National Heathland Conference, hosted by Natural England and sponsored by the Joint Nature Conservation Committee, will be held in September at the inspirational venue of the National Science Learning Centre at the University of York, on the edge of the historic city.
The conference will be aimed at those interested in finding out the latest developments in heathland management and science and key themes will include:
„X Climate change
„X Nutrient management
„X Fire and management
„X Housing & development
„X Heathland interpretation
The 3 day event will include a mix of presentations, workshops and open discussions on Tuesday and Wednesday, featuring practical examples of heathland management techniques. The conference will conclude on Thursday with optional guided visits to the inspiring lowland heathland in the Vale of York and the upland massif of the North York Moors.
This year there will be a great emphasis on networking and we hope that the sharing of good practice will continue beyond the formal sessions and continue over an informal Yorkshire beer tasting social evening on Tuesday and guided tour of York Minster and formal conference dinner in York on Wednesday.
