ARCHIVE - Conference description
This October, Scotland’s Pinewood Conference 2024, aims to bring together a wide range of people interested in pinewood management to examine how landscape scale management can lead to ecosystem recovery, focusing on western pinewoods.
We've designed a unique programme which offers lots of opportunity for discussion and engagement. As befits a conference about pinewoods, there is also a chance to get outside! While that might be a bit chilly in October, you can look forward to returning to an evening of good food at the Nevis Centre.
The conference dinner will be followed by a special performance of music and verse, inspired by pinewoods and their place in local history and culture.
All of this and it's only Day 1...
It's been a long time coming - don't miss it!
Also included in your conference ticket:
Lunches on both days, plus refreshments during breaks
A delicious day 1 conference dinner followed by a specially commissioned music and poetry performance in the main hall of the Nevis Centre
The chance to view and contribute to Arkaig Community Forest's ongoing art project
Exhibits & displays from host organisations throughout the venue.
In-person tickets are priced at £135 per person.
Ticket numbers are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
