Description Wilder by Design? - Managing landscape change and future ecologies. 15th & 16th May at Sheffield Hallam University, Sheffield, UK. The 2-day event being organised by Professor Ian Rotherham and colleagues will explore the critical issues around wilding or re-wilding landscapes that have recently been in the news. The event, which has a UK focus, addresses issues of how we should respond to the challenges of environmental change, of climate change, and of a radically altered public sector and political climate. There will be a field visit to the Peak District on the first day (coach included) and the event concludes with an expert panel session on the second day. The event is sponsored and supported by: BES, IPS, IUFRO, ESEH, Sheffield Hallam University, the Ancient Tree Forum, Landscape Conservation Forum, BANC, Thorne & Hatfield Moors Conservation Forum and JBA Consulting.
