Todays for the #landscapesforlife conference we’re learning outside the classroom. What an amazing morning at Folly Farm Centre hearing about so many interlinked projects run by B&NES Council Avon Wildlife Trust @CotswoldsAONB @MendipHillsAONB and many more!

Excited to be at my first conference as CEO of NationalTrails.UK.
Great opening remarks from @NAAONB on this first day of the #landscapesforlife asking us to use this conference to disrupt, discuss and deliberate #nationaltrails
