Registration starts at 9.15, and the conference will be opened at 10.00 by Professor Phil Wheater (Manchester Metropolitan University). There will be three sessions, one in the morning and two after lunch. The morning session looks at reclamation processes and asks “What works best for biodiversity?”. A series of introductory talks will be followed by time for discussion in smaller groups. After a hot lunch, we will discuss “Managing change: Biodiversity shifts with succession”. Finally, after a refreshment break, we will hear talks about challenging perceptions of brownfield sites. The conference will be closed at 17.00. We hope you can join us.

Posters and displays about brownfield sites are very welcome, poster boards will be provided. If you wish to have a poster or display, please contact Sarah via sarah.west@york.ac.uk or 01904 324577.
