Join us for this inspiring two-day conference, taking an holistic look at floodplain meadow restoration with plenty of opportunities for networking and sharing best practice. In the historic setting of the Oxford Natural History Museum, we’ll hear practical talks about restoring meadow soils and plants, take a look at measuring success, and identify mechanisms for funding and delivery. And we'll head out to see all this in action at some nearby restoration meadows, which we’ll compare with an excellent example of an ancient meadow as a reference site. We also have an exciting after dinner speaker lined up.
This event has completed and no bookings are now possible.
