Let It Bee: Nature Recovery in Practice

This one-day seminar brings together national leaders, local authorities and frontline practitioners to explore how we can deliver greener, healthier and more resilient places for people and nature. From national nature recovery ambitions and the future of forests, to practical local solutions for parks, urban landscapes and biodiversity, the programme blends big-picture policy with real-world delivery.
Featuring expert insights from Natural England, Forestry Commission, APSE and local councils, alongside hands-on workshops on urban tree health and nature-rich spaces, the event offers inspiration, practical tools and partnership learning to help local authorities meet climate, nature and community priorities.
