The IHBC’s London Branch 2024 conference on 1 October explores how conservation of the natural and historic environments can be managed to make better places in its next annual Conference, at the Grade I Royal College of Physicians, from only £100 (£145 non-members) including a generous lunch!
IHBC Chair David McDonald said: ‘Too often conserving the natural and historic environment are seen as competing and conflicting objectives. At a local level that can be illustrated by the issue of bats in churches where the protection of endangered species can be at odds with protecting church interiors and congregation. In this, the sixteenth of IHBC’s London Conferences we will be examining some of these conflicts, but also looking at ways in which they may be overcome by imaginative and creative solutions.’
IHBC London Branch Chair and IHBC Trustee Sheila Stones said: ‘We are extremely pleased to have secured a wide range of excellent speakers who will be covering various issues around the theme of balancing the built and natural environments. The topics covered will range from reconciling potential conflict between grant funded rewilding, landscape recovery, woodland and wetland creation with conserving and enhancing the significance of heritage landscapes. Our speakers include representatives from key organisations in the sector including Natural England, the National Trust, and Historic England.’
