14th May 2008, 2.00-4.30 p.m. Natural England's offices at Chalfont Drive, Nottingham. Over the last few months, Natural England and The Wildlife Trusts, East Midlands have worked together towards developing a methodology for biodiversity opportunity mapping. We have used this to carry out initial GIS mapping, focussing on the Three Cities growth area. The primary objective of the current piece of work is to bring together both approaches to produce a methodology that can be applied anywhere in the region. To enable the completion of the methodology in a way that will allow it to fulfil its primary objective, we are keen to demonstrate to partners how it has been developed to date. Most importantly, we wish to engage you in a discussion about the way this should be completed, so that it can be provided to partners in the most useful form, to contribute to work elsewhere in the region. We are therefore particularly keen to involve partners who have some interest in GIS mapping, local biodiversity delivery and/or spatial planning, both in the Three Cities area and across the region. Select here to download the full invite (Word doc. 31Kb) >>> Please respond to Charlotte Gault at: regional.policy@nottswt.co.uk by Monday 5th May.
