Green Tease , Planting Seeds for the Future The latest event in the Green Tease series run in partnership with Creative Carbon Scotland, Confor and the Institute of Chartered Foresters, was held on 1 July. Who are Green Tease events for? Those working in sectors including agriculture, conservation, forestry, and environmental management are encouraged to attend, as are those engaged in the cultural sector including artists working across any artform and those engaged in community-based arts and environmental initiatives. Why do we need Green Tease events? Scotland has set itself ambitious targets to respond to climate change, to conserve its environment, and to grow a land-based economy for the future. As a country, it is the first to declare a ‘Climate Emergency’, and the first European country to pledge contributions to the Bonn Challenge to restore degraded ecosystems. Yet Scotland is not so much a geography as the sum of its people, and its success in charting its future course ultimately depends on us. It is for this reason that we are creating a discussion forum to share ideas and visions for the future among practitioners working across diverse sectors including Scotland’s land-based and cultural sectors. What can you expect from a Green Tease event? The latest Green Tease evening included short presentations and a panel discussion with speakers working in across public and private sectors in diverse contexts including visual arts, forestry and academia, followed by the chance for participants to meet and make new connections between their different areas of work over a drink. To introduce a range of perspectives on opportunities for cross-sector collaboration, contributions were made by the following speakers: Professor Jaboury Ghazoul, Director of the Centre for Sustainable Forests and Landscapes at the University of Edinburgh, wants to see more collaboration on climate change and will look at how people coming together with a common aim can make a difference. Andrew Heald MICFor, Confor Technical Director, gave an insight into how a new approach is needed to reach climate change targets and how modern forestry has an important role to play. Confor is a membership organisation for sustainable forestry and wood-using businesses. Visual artist Hannah Imlach shared her experiences working within environmental research groups and conservation organisations, focussing primarily on a recently completed project in the Flow Country working alongside peatland scientists. Hester McQueen, Marketing Manager of the Institute of Chartered Foresters, explained how its members, both foresters and arboriculturists, are already making a difference by reaching out to other professions. The Institute is the only Royal body offering chartered status in the sector in the UK. This event was organised in partnership with Creative Carbon Scotland, the Centre for Sustainable Forests and Landscapes, Confor and the Institute of Chartered Foresters.
