The inaugural "Changing Landscapes" conference, held on 30th May 2024, aimed to drive practical actions for national forestry and biodiversity. This ambitious, outcome-focused event brought together business leaders, financiers, policymakers, farmers, landscape stakeholders, and technologists to the West of Ireland to provide valuable insights into specific focus areas. The emphasis was on leveraging the multifunctional benefits of trees and promoting collaborative action for better environmental outcomes.

The first Changing Landscapes conference was a resounding success, revealing a strong demand for collaborative efforts and practical actions in forestry and biodiversity. The event laid the foundation for future initiatives and highlighted the crucial role of trees in our national landscape. Attendees left with a clearer understanding of the challenges and opportunities, and how we can work as a collective towards a sustainable future.

We are excited about the possibility of hosting another event like this next year. This year's event was partially funded by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. We will not have that funding next year, so if you are interested in sponsoring the next event, please get in touch.
