The National Ecological Networks Conference, hosted by the Scottish Wildlife Trust with assistance from the Scottish Government, will be held at the National Museum of Scotland, Edinburgh, between the Wednesday 6 and Thursday 7 February 2013.

The event aims to explore the theory, policy and practice of ecological networks and to provide an evidence base for future practical action and policy direction. During this major conference we will explore the policy drivers for ecological networks, investigate the science behind networks and ecosystem restoration, consider the goods and services that flow from healthy ecosystems, and give examples of green infrastructure initiatives from both the UK and Europe as a whole.

Going beyond 'traditional' biodiversity interests, this event focuses on economy, health and resilience among other subjects and will feature contributions from health professionals, architects, urbanists and senior EC officials.
