UWE BDAS Lectures: Can a new national forest transform our region? Join us at Festival of Nature
Trees are transformational, and our region has a bold mission ahead: to create one of England’s new national forests. Can it be done, and what will the benefits be for communities, wildlife, and businesses?
Join us for this BDAS in collaboration with the Festival of Nature.
Hosted by Professor Darren Reynolds, Pro Vice-Chancellor for Research and Knowledge Exchange at UWE Bristol, the event brings together leading voices working across conservation, research, and regional planning:
What you’ll gain:
- Understanding of the vision for a new national forest and what it could mean in practice
- Insight into the environmental, social, and economic benefits of landscape restoration
- Awareness of how inclusive approaches can ensure communities benefit fairly
- Inspiration on how local action and national ambition can create greener, healthier places
We’re proud to be part of the Festival of Nature 2026, the UK’s largest free celebration of the natural world, running 6–14 June with 160+ events across Bristol, Bath, and online.
We hope you will join us at this inspiring event as we look to shape greener, healthier places for future generations.
