Join us for an in-person Park Managers Forum with City of Edinburgh Council focusing on key aspects of delivering nature recovery.

We are excited to be hosting an in-person event in partnership with the City of Edinburgh Council. We will be looking at three key themes across the day which are essential for delivering effective nature recovery:

Operations

Monitoring

Communication and engagement

We will look at how these three themes tie into the delivery of the Edinburgh Nature Network and other linked programmes. We will visit some of the Nature Network pilot sites in Leith and discuss how these have been delivered and plans for ongoing programme implementation, and a holistic approach being taken across Council teams.

We are keen for this event to be as interactive as possible and to ensure we get the most out of having forum members together in person. The workshop session will be a chance for you to share your own approach to nature recovery and how this ties into wider aims of greenspace management.

The agenda will be as follows:

Welcome and introductions

Presentations

Guided walk led by City of Edinburgh Council staff to look at key project sites

Lunch break

Workshop / breakout session

Closing remarks
