Environmental Forestry 2027
Event Details
Environmental Forestry brings together hundreds of environmental, operations, technical and management representatives from across the forest industry, alongside local & central Government. It is designed for those with boots on the ground, planning operations, ensuring compliance and creating policy.
The programme delivers a range of case studies on improving outcomes for a diverse range of environmental objectives. It is not just about managing production forestry operations, but bringing a range of views together for environmental forestry practitioners and managers to learn and network.
There has never been a more important time for understanding and improving environmental forestry. As the climate changes, and the population grows, each year brings new challenges and critical learnings. Hear from experts and peers across a range of forest management companies for large and small forest estates.
