Natural England - Economic Conservation?

Mr Peter Nottage, Regional Director for Yorkshire and Humberside, will be discussing Natural England's role in terms of interaction with businesses; both existing but also start-up businesses in areas such as renewable energy, conservation and carbon reduction. There will also be an opportunity to discover how Natural England are involved in the development of both urban and green spaces both from an economic but also flood mitigation point of view. Interaction with the local authorities or regional development agencies is also on the agenda.

As environmental management, flooding and development of the urban landscape continue to affect the businesses in our region this is an opportunity to learn first hand what opportunities there maybe for you and your business. Combined with the new financial year and changes to the way European funds and national funding are allocated gaining an insight into the areas of economic and social growth may well give you that competitive edge.
