Beth Chatto Symposium pannel:
Saturday 1st-Sunday 2nd September 2022
University of Essex
Part of 2022 Beth Chatto Syposium There can be no doubt that the way we have historically managed urban and public space land is unsustainable and requires fundamental change. And that change needs to happen now.
This fundamental change is simple, and can be rewarding in a variety of ways.
Together we will learn that this change is possible, via knowledge sharing with the use of expert case studies and examples.
This change could take effect at pace, by working collaboratively with others.
We feel the time is now to bring individuals together amid the ecological crisis we are all facing and as the pressures and demands of the Anthropocene gain pace in damaging the natural world."
