Countryside Management Association (CMA) Conference 9th – 11th October 2023
‘Delivering Nature Recovery’ was the topic of the CMA’s first in person conference since COVID curtailed our normal activities.
Held at Ilam Hall in stunning Dovedale, which lies within the Peak National Park, around 50 delegates came together over the three days to learn about the policy and strategies behind the Nature Recovery concept, what nature recovery looked like in action and how best you can resource it.
Led by Ted Talbot who, because of his long service, was given a fellowship of the CMA, the conference explored the thinking behind existing and new nature recovery projects, including examples of rewilding a golf course, creating nature connectivity based around major road routes, urban green space projects and nature recovery at a landscape scale where success is measured in square miles!
