The GLNP has announced the full programme for its forthcoming conference on new and innovative ways to make the case for nature. The Evolving evidence conference takes place on 31 October at The Showroom in Lincoln and will consider current methods being used to support evidence-based policy and decision making for the natural environment. Speakers will include Nick Atkinson of the Woodland Trust, Dr Niall Burton of the British Trust for Ornithology and Gareth Dalglish from Natural England. The conference will also mark the launch of LERC Search a pioneering new website to provide access to ecological data for Greater Lincolnshire. The system will allow instant access to data for ecological consultants and local authorities 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This marks a huge step forward, ensuring that this data can be better considered within the planning system. Partnership Manager Fran Smith will explain more about the GLNP's development of the system and our hopes for the future.
