Edinburgh Forests and Landscapes Network (EFLN)
EFLN aims to bring together academics, researchers and postgraduate student with policy, business and third sector professionals with an interest in sustainable forests and landscapes based in and around Edinburgh.
We hope to develop an informal meeting place, providing opportunities for sharing insights, experiences and perspectives that will benefit a diverse audience.
Most sessions will take place on first Wednesday of the month 4-6pm in the Edinburgh Climate Change Institute (ECCI), starting with a 45-60min of plenary session followed by informal networking with refreshments. Please note that there will be no sessions in January and August.
If you have any suggestions, would like to contribute to future Edinburgh Forests and Landscapes Networking events, or sign up to our mailing list, please email natasa.honeybone@ed.ac.uk.
