The Future and Role of Biodiversity Partnerships - Northern Conference summary available

Further to the LBAP workshop held in York on 6^th October, please find below a summary of the workshop outputs from the day.

This is presented in the form of some ‘short key points’ from each of the day’s four workshops, linked to the questions which were provided as prompts to the discussion. All relevant comments from the workshop returns  are also provided in the Annex to the document.

Please note that the ‘report’ does not aim to provide guidance for the future, and no attempt has been made to interpret the days discussions, but it is simply a report on the discussions of the day. The details of the discussions will however be taken forward and utilised in the development of a guidance note which we hope will be produced early in 2010.

Once again many thanks to all of you who attended the day and made it a day of enthusiastic and informative debate. Please contact your regional or sub-regional Biodiversity Coordinator for more information.
