Eurosite Annual Conference 2010 – ‘The Challenge of Managing Sites in a Changing Environment’
23.06.2010 |
by: Henning Steinicke
Eurosite, Scottish Natural Heritage, in collaboration with the Countryside Council for Wales and Natural England, cordially invite to the 2010 Eurosite Annual Conference.
In this year of international biodiversity, Eurosite is focusing on the practical challenges of site management within an increasingly dynamic and changing environment. We will be asking delegates to discuss key questions including what management actions are considered appropriate for climate change and how these should be implemented to improve the resilience of biodiversity across four habitat types in particular – Upland, Forest, Freshwater and Marine & Coastal.
Also, at national and European policy level, the relationship between sites and their surrounding areas is already signalled to become a ‘hot topic’: this has major implications for site managers, especially having to achieve more with less as the economic crisis is likely to continue to hit operating budgets
for years ahead. Such issues have business critical and practical operational consequences for site management organisations and staff as they consider how best to plan ahead, utilise available resources and implement ‘on the ground’ action to achieve maximum gains for nature.
The need for innovative, effective and responsive approaches is greater than ever. The theme of the Conference provides rich grounds for discussion, to exchange views, share ideas and gain insights with colleagues from around Europe. Emphasising the value of learning ‘in the field’, a programme of site visits is also currently being planned as an integral feature of the Eurosite Conference. We anticipate that about 120 representatives from over 70 nature conservation organisations will participate.
Details of the conference, the programme and the registration form are available via the following link:

Eurosite members and other delegates would benefit greatly from your expert contribution and involvement. Equally, the Conference will provide excellent networking opportunities, as well as a valuable forum for discussion and learning.
